Ramesses

Band, 2003-2013 GB
Rock

RAMESSES was born in England, February 2003. The seed of inspiration that gave birth to the band came from Mark Greening. Earlier during that bitter winter, he had parted ways with the band he’d drummed for since its creation, Electric Wizard, and wanted to continue to push his insanely creative drumming. Similarly, Tim Bagshaw, his long-time friend, had also left Electric Wizard, looking to leave behind what he saw as the boredom of the bass in favour of the guitar. After several jams, Mark and Tim began searching for a bass player. They played with a few musicians, including Leo Smee (ex-Cathedral), who was on a totally different musical vibe. During these jams in London with Leo, Tim and Mark stayed with Adam Richardson, a fellow native of their hometown, Wimborne in Dorset. At this time there was a lot of talk about music among the three, and in particular Adam's previous band Spirmyard. With RAMESSES in mind, the main attraction for Mark and Tim was the fact that Adam could play bass and sing, so they could maintain a three-piece line-up. Now extremely focused, the band geared up to enter the studio for the first time. In late August, they holed up at London's Fortress Studios and within 24 hours they had recorded and mixed 4 tracks that RAMESSES began releasing in December 2003.
