Backstabber

Relentless and uncompromising yet soaring and intricate, Waking Theo weld the brutal to the beautiful to create music that is both stunning and epic. Drawing influence from a vast cross-section of metal, from pummelling, classic thrash, through to modern-day melodic death, Waking Theo carve out a sound that is both evocative and different, displaying the perfect balance between extremity and accessibility.

Since forming in 2005, the Yorkshire based quintet have honed their precise and energetic performance style with devastating effect, resulting in a hard hitting live show few underground bands can match. This has led to their selection for support slots with names such as Malefice, Trigger the Bloodshed, Mendeed, Biomechanical and many more.

In 2011, Waking Theo self-released their second EP, ‘Ghost in the Machine’ which was to be their final release with Mikey Slatcher on vocals. In early 2012 the band parted ways with their singer of 6 years as a result of musical differences and welcomed aboard Craig Gordon to complete the current line-up. As of now, the band is in the process of writing fresh material with a view for a release before the end of the year.
