Music like Treason

Treason are a heavy rock/metal trio based in London, England.

Treason’s origins date back to 1988 when vocalist John Seaton, formerly of underground metal act ‘Apocalypse’ answered an advert from the first fledgling line-up. The music being written at that time was in the thrash metal mode, a style that was very much in vogue at the time. This first line-up went through the inevitable personnel changes before stabilizing somewhat with the addition of ex Apocalypse drummer Gary Brown and Italian bassist Fabrice Francese. The band then embarked on a heavy touring schedule, playing nationwide and securing a sizeable following on the then burgeoning metal club circuit around the UK. They supported and toured with the likes of home-grown acts Venom, Paul Di Anno, Xentrix, Slammer and Onslaught, as well as visiting American names such as Bad Brains, Gwar and Warrior Soul, and for a while were among the leading lights of the underground thrash metal scene.
