AS WE FIGHT BIOGRAPHY
As We Fight started in July 2001 in Fredericia, Denmark. In September 2002, things started to take off, when the band recorded an ep at the Antfarm Studio with Tue Madsen (The Haunted, Sick Of It All, Himsa, Kataklysm, Rob Halford). This ep was supported by tons of shows in Denmark and some weekend raids outside the country playing festivals. By the summer of 2003, As We Fight had landed a record-deal with Belgium's Good Life Recordings.
In February 2004, As We Fight went into the Antfarm Studio once again to record their debut full length - "Black Nails and Bloody Wrists". The album was released in April 2004 and received great reviews from magazines worldwide while the band supported the album by massive touring the following 18 months through Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Holland, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland in addition to a full Denmark tour with Hatesphere.
2005 saw the band writing songs for their sophomore album while continuing to play shows and festivals in Europe. In addition, the "Black Nails and Bloody Wrists" album was re-released by German label Dockyard1 while the band landed an award for "Best Live Band" at the Danish Metal Awards!
In July 2006, As We Fight entered the studio with Jacob Bredahl (Hatesphere) to record their second full length album – "Midnight Tornado"! This album shows the band from a more rock'n'roll and metal side than previously. Once again, the band chose to work with Tue Madsen for the mix and mastering process. "Midnight Tornado" was released in October 2006, and was followed by a sold out X-Mas Tour with Caliban, a headlining Denmark tour, a headlining European tour and many support jobs for highly acclaimed international metal bands.
As We Fight is currently writing songs for their third album while gearing up for some festival appearances in addition to the upcoming MTV Headbangers Ball Tour.
