Vendetta was formed in early 2006 by guitarist/vocalist Edward Box. Ed wanted to broaden his musical base and return to the roots of his obsession - traditional metal. Guitarist Pete Thompson and bass player Gary Foalle were swiftly recruited and, in the absence of a permanent drummer, Ed called in the services of longtime Box stalwart Mick Robson to temporarily complete the lineup. Not for this band the endless grind of low key gigs, experience had taught them that this was not necessarily the best plan of attack. The mission was set - to make an album of classic metal anthems, one that would capture the essence of the music that had driven these men since their youths in the rain swept hills of Cumbria and the industrial wastes of the North East of England.
Vendetta have produced a self financed debut album of timeless quality, one that reflects not only the world in which we live, but is testament to the power of musical faith. With the album complete the search was on for a permanent drummer and with Chris Higgins recruited to the ranks, VENDETTA are now able to unleash themselves on the live circuit and bring their metal to the masses. The band's debut album "Tyranny of Minority" containing 12 tracks of scorching contemporary traditional metal will be released in September 2007 on Lion Music.

Another interview with Edward Box this time from our old friends from www.axehound.com
Edward Box says
"If I’m truthful, I think instrumental guitar music can be very boring and there are probably only 10 or so guitar albums in the history of the entire genre that I really love."...now which ones do you think these could be...

Owen Edwards dishes up a full on interview with Edward Box on the quality guitar site.
From what my own experiences suggest, it is pretty brutal. If you are a name like Vinnie Moore or Tony Macalpine – guys who in their heyday were selling sometimes in excess of 100,000 units – well, I imagine they are doing around 20,000 plus in today’s climate. Likewise if you are on Favored Nations, I think that most artists should comfortably be doing something like that – and the bigger names a whole lot more. But if you are starting out now with one of the smaller labels – or even more so if you try and do it all yourself – realistically it will be hard to break the 1000 sales mark.
