WORDS OF BETRAYAL rocks so hard it makes you glad you have ears."

impress with their lush, accessible sound. A bit like the British Trivium and
sounding like a riffcentric Funeral for a Friend their tightness and presence
is superb."

Having released their first four track demo which was aired by Radio 1's Zane Lowe and Mary Anne Hobbs, who they played a live Radio 1 Rock show session for, the band went on to win Zane Lowe’s 'fresh meat' competition for best single! Zane Lowe also mentioned the band on his ‘Gonza’ Mtv2 show saying “We have played them a few times on Radio 1 now and their going to be huge”! On air assertions from Jo Whiley that they were one of a handful of bands set to go ballistic, the band prove just why they deserved all that early support from the country's top rock DJs! Airplay has also come from Xfm and regional BBC stations as well as KROQ in Los Angeles!
Support also came from Welsh phenomenon Funeral for a Friend: saying "They're a band who can be brutally heavy in parts yet beautifully melodic at the same time.
They've just given us a copy of their new demo and it's really f**king good, criminally good in fact!"
