  Benediction (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Benediction is a British death metal band from Birmingham.
The band was back in studio in December 1991 with Darren playing bass and guitar on a new EP, titled Dark is the Season, which included a cover of the old Anvil stalwart "Forged In Fire", and January 1992 saw the band back in Europe again with Asphyx and Bolt Thrower.
Benediction formed a close relationship with Death, touring extensively with them at Chuck Schuldiner's request, the sadly missed Death legend being just one of many musicians who have infinite respect for Benediction's 'no-shit' approach and dedication to their genre.

I was in Benediction before, I left them, it would have been March '98, about three months later, three and half I'd say, Bolt Thrower phoned me, asked what I was doing, `cause we're friends.

With each album, the band's playing and writing improved; James Hetfield developed a signature rhythm playing that matched his growl, while lead guitarist Kirk Hammett became one of the most copied guitarists in metal.
By the '90s, Metallica had changed the rules for all heavy metal bands; they were the leaders of the genre, respected not only by headbangers, but by mainstream record buyers and critics.
In late summer 2001, the band's recording sessions (and all other band-related matters) were put on hold as Hetfield entered an undisclosed rehab facility for alcoholism and other addictions.

We're still committed to the band, but we're committed to a lot of other things too that maybe weren't such a problem a few years ago.
Some are written to fit the idea of Benediction, a Death Metal band, some are more just things I think about, for example Temple of Set is kind of about carnality and accepting that man is a kind of animal, among other things.
Benediction in a kind of Benediction style, so maybe they're a bit different to what I'd write outside the band, but hopefully they fit and sound cool.

 Napalm Death's ex and current members!!!
Danny had never played in a band before joining Napalm, which the members though was good because he wouldn't bring any "undesirable influences" (god knows what they mean by that...) His first album with the band was the now worldwide acclaimed classic "Utopia Banished".
He joined the band in May 1985, and left just after recording the first tracks of SCUM when he was 16, 17 years old.
He got into the band after the A side of Scum was already recorded, in order to allow Nik Bullen to fully concentrate on singing, and he left as soon as the band had finished recording the B side.

Dies Irae was searching their own sound, and he decided to record with a professional metal producer, but it makes that the band takes a year and a half working in the new album.

Tours with Autopsy, Paradise Lost and Bolt Thrower secured their position in the U.K. scene, while their headlining slot on the Nuclear Blast Festival tour in 1998 with Children of Bodom, Hypocrisy and The Kovenant set them firmly in the minds of European audiences as purveyors of nonconformist death metal.

 THE METAL OBSERVER - Review - BENEDICTION - Organized Chaos
BENEDICTION are pretty content to tread similar ground from album-to-album, making little or no changes to their well-established sound, and "Organized Chaos" is no different.
I'm sure, though, that this band is a solid live unit, God knows they've had enough touring in their time.
The songs are sharp and solid, I can't neglect that fact, they write catchy, heavy riffs, and the drummer is a rather skilled young bloke.

A week afterwards Benediction told me I’d got the job, and that I had to therefore buy the beer for the rest of the night.
It was a very hard decision to make, but my departure from the band was necessary for me to concentrate on regaining my mental health, and for Bolt Thrower not to have been put on hold.
Originally, the band was called Full Scale Hatred but we just weren’t too happy with that.

It needed plates and screws to keep it all together and seeing as Nick is a bit of a big lad, the doctors have strongly recommended that he sits on his arse for at least six weeks before putting any pressure on it.
In the meantime, the rest of the band will take full advantage of this quality time and go out and drink heavily until Nick is ready to rejoin the band back in their Birmingham studio."
