Existing at the cutting edge, [Needleye's] feral breed of hybrid metal has existed in one form or another since 1999. Seeking to lay waste to the musical landscape around him, Duncan Wilkinson sought out like minded individuals to bring about a new world order of musical terrorism. As the concept grew, so too did the mysterious Ministry Of Sharpened Vision (MSV), a covert brotherhood of shared knowledge, of whom the five members of [Needleye] are the highest ranking order. Over the years the band has evolved into a sleek, brutal unit whose live shows are fast approaching legendary status.

Celebrated support slots with Sikth, Extreme Noise Terror, Breed 77, Prong, Mortiis and gODHEAD have seen [Needleye] move onto bigger and more prestigious gigs. Equally infamous for their distinctive fashion sense, [Needleye]'s skewed sense of childish humour has extended to their merchandise, the family-orientated 'C**T' and 'Cut Myself A New Hole To F**k' shirts bear testament to this, with both ranges continually selling out wherever the band tour. Keen to continually grow more extreme, the point at which Needleye reach their logical conclusion will result in the band imploding and leaving nothing more than thousands of empty cider bottles, the world's biggest KFC Bargain Bucket, and a mysterious golden eagle's beak.

If you ever wanted something harder and faster than Nailbomb, Fear Factory, Slayer, Chimaira and Strapping Young Lad combined then look no further - [Needleye] are here to destroy your world...and drink your beer!

Needleye also have their own Design Studio, [DNA], from which "Workwear For Satan" products may be ordered.
