Life Cycle

Life Cycle were a Metal-Punk band from Welsh, with male and female vocals and they had quite a unique sound. Neither from the Broken Bones / English Dogs / Concrete Sox school nor from the Amebix / Axegrinder / Hellbastard one, Life Cycle played heavy and groovy, mid-tempo Metallic Punk somewhere between Celtic Frost, late Deviated Instinct or some 90's bands like Ironside and even some early sludge stuff like 13 or Eyehategod. Previously known as Capital Gain, the band Life Cycle started in the summer of 1986. The line-up consisted of Marie Sheard on lead vocals and bass, Ivor White on lead guitar, Neil Morgan on guitar and Chris Sheard on drums. After playing some live events, Ivor White left to join the band Shrapnel.
