COLTRE was forged in London, England by guitarists
Daniel Sweed and Marco Stamigna in May 2019. They met at
a Midnight concert and decided to form a band inspired
by the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. They started
rehearsing, and by the beginning of 2020 had recorded
the four-song EP Under the Influence, to be released in
time for their first gig, supporting Witchtower at
Boston Music Rooms.
Rough and rustic but brimming with an authentically
ancient fire, Under the Influence is moody metallic
majesty: dark 'n' mysterious riffs, portentously
galloping rhythms, epic-yet-direct compositions, and the
sage-like pipes of Stagmina atop it all. One could be
mistaken for thinking COLTRE were some unearthed relic
from the original NWOBHM movement, so hot-rockin' is
their swords-aloft surge, evoking high fantasy and urban
grit in equal measure, and crucially retaining that
pivotal rock 'n' roll thrust Thin Lizzy largely gifted
to that movement.
But COLTRE are their own men, and as reverential as they
are of these enduring paradigms, Under the Influence is
undoubtedly its own creation, its own wild world. You
are hereby compelled to go under THEIR influence!
