Latvian metal band RELICSEED formed in 2004. They experimented with line ups and musical stylings to emerge in 2008 as a solid quartet bent on creating a rhythmic wall of music rife with extraordinary riffage. Edgars Rakovskis (vocals and guitar), Andrejs Upmacis (drums), Janis Narbuts (bass guitar), and Karlis Steinanis (guitar) display the skills, ambitions and creativity to take their musical energy and vision to the next level. In 2010 they released 60 Minutes of a Dream and were nominated for "Best Heavy Metal Album" in the Latvian Metal Awards. 2011 saw the band play in the UK and USA for the first time - indeed they are one of the first Latvian rock bands to play in both countries. The end of 2011 saw the release of Domestic Devil: limited edition CD in conjunction with shows in LA at the Key Club opening for Korpiklaani and in San Francisco at the Metallibash - an event in conjunction with the 30th Anniversary Metallica shows where they shared the stage with legendary Lonn Friend, editor of RIP Magazine. Lonn Friend had this to say about the band: "Consider it ironic or just plain heavy ass dedication and wicked chops but the best Metallica inspired band in the world may just be halfway around the world. Relicseed from Latvia have landed. Relicseed is the heaviest thing to drop in Eastern Europe since the Berlin wall. From loud and lovely Latvia, hit the lights and raise whatever flag you choose." Relicseed rung in 2012 with extensive touring dates in Germany and Holland and are currently booking another tour of the United States.  http://www.facebook.com/Relicseed http://www.relicseed.com http://www.relicseed.bandcamp.com
