about

Osmium Guillotine are an Essex-based metal band formed in June 2009 by James and Elijah. Some notable gigs played include supporting Sham 69, John Otway, Splodgenessabounds, and former Iron Maiden members, Blaze Bayley and Dennis Stratton.

In April 2010 OG released their debut 5 track demo CD;“How D’ya Like Them Apples?”, the only release to feature the band's original line-up. Between August - October 2010 OG had a member shuffle; Tom and Barbora left, and the band were joined by two lead guitarists: Lance Steele and Peter Keliris. OG now became a totally different beast consisting of Elijah handling both bass and lead vocal duties, James on drums and backing vocals, Lance Steele on lead guitar and Pete Keliris on lead guitar and also secondary lead vocals.

In August 2011 they released their brand new EP "Into the Battle"

Their next EP "Subhuman" was released on Friday 13th July 2012. At the end of 2012 the band teamed up with fellow Essex metallers 'Kaine' to record a joint-EP, featuring all 8 members from both bands, titled "Killotine", this was released on 12/12/12 to celebrate 'The International Day of Heavy Metal'.

This was the last official release to feature Elijah on bass and vocals as he decided to depart the band shortly after.

In early 2013 the band were joined by new bass player, Dan Thurgood. Pete is now primary lead vocalist and the band have resumed gigging with a brand new set list. In July 2013 the band signed with MGR Music and announced plans to record and released their debut full length studio album on June 6th 2014.
