Formed from the ashes of innovative industrial metal act Soul Destruction and the face-melting intensity of Messiah Of None, Farnborough based four-piece Front Towards Enemy take fast technical riffs, unrelenting rhythms and throat-tearing vocals to create a solid wall of metal brutality.

With influences from all across the metal spectrum (Machine Head, Lamb Of God, Textures, Soilwork.. etc) most of what Front Towards Enemy discuss at band rehearsals would have them arrested and possibly sectioned. 

Having completed recording their self titled EP in September 2014 at The Rooms Studios in Farnborough, Front Towards Enemy are now hitting up promoters and venues all across the UK. 

“It hadn’t really dawned on me that, until Front Towards Enemy, we’d been missing what I call a ‘riff band’ that day. An act that set their sights on hard hitting, rampant guitar lines and rhythm work to really rile the crowd up and get them moving. The crowd obliged with the first pit of the day, which drove the intensity and hard-as-nail mentality home. It all chugged along at breakneck speed, even the slowed down parts, with impressive technical playing and a good understanding of how to write a badass lick or two.” - www.easthampshire.org

Biography

Born in 1981 in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire in the UK Simon Voakes has a real passion for music and a wide appreciation of the ever expanding genres, from trance to drum & bass, through punk & indie to ambient & classical. But his true love is electronic dance music…


Back in the early 90′s the rave scene in the UK was really taking off and Simon, just entering his teenage years, took an interest in the Jungle & Hardcore scene. He would listen to tape packs & collect flyers until he was old enough to start attending live events and this is when his love affair with the scene really began to take off.

Back in 2000 he began frequenting top nightclub events including Peach @ Camden Palace, Slinky @ The Bournemouth Opera House & Gatecrasher @ Republic. At that time he was listening mainly to Trance & Hard House. The people and the music combined to create an atmosphere and sense of belonging he had not known before, he was now well and truly hooked. Simon also revived his passion for Hardcore & Drum & Bass by attending raves at the Sanctuary in Milton Keynes, the NEC in Birmingham and other major venues.

By early 2002 he had started to play around with mixing techniques and experimented with the different ways 2 or more tracks could be played together creating ‘mash-ups.’ And in 2003 he moved on to the next stage, no longer content with mixing other artist’s work he wanted to create something that was his and entered the world of music production. He had some experience with sound production, gained through an HND Multimedia course, including time spent in professional studios, but still it became clear there was a lot to learn.

Simon began building his home studio where he continues to develop his skills and is loving it just as much as the day he started. After starting with trance he has produced tracks in variety of styles including Hardcore, Drum & Bass, Breaks & Dubstep and brings a wealth of experience and variety gained from all these genres together to produce his own brand of uplifting Trance as ‘SV Digital.’

The EDM scene has been a huge part of his life and he takes great pleasure in being able to put something back into it. ..
