Biography : Reign (UK-1)

"Ultra-heavy extreme metal noiseintent on giving the likes of Machine Head a run for their money. Hugely promising Kerrang!"

"Crushingly heavy Terrorizer"

"Disciplined enough to make many an international outfit sound like a sack of spanners Kerrang!"

"Fits to a mosh like a well made glove to a hand Terrorizer"

"Hard driving 90s death / thrash edge somewhere between Slayer and Morbid Angel"


Reign toured the UK and Europe relentlessly from 1992 1999. We released three full length CDs Embrace, Exit clause and Control Over Anger during that time after having been one of the better known acts on the early 1990s demo circuit.

The US releases of both Embrace and Exit clause were heavily support by US independent radio and Exit clause charted on the CMJ Loud Radio charts for an awesome twenty weeks.

Reign shared stages with many diverse acts such as At The Gates, Napalm Death, Entombed, Sick of It All, Carcass and Cradle of Filth.

We like to think we made an impact. Anyone who saw us will remember some goddamn intense chaotic live shows. Since we aint huge on self-proclamation, we hope that the above captions give you some flavour of what Reign was all about.

Check out the tracks on this site if you like them, then message us. Wed love to hear from you. Track down the CDs and KICK SOME SHIT.
