CITY OF GOD
A NEW SPIRITUAL MOUNTAIN

City of God came together in Manchester in October 2004, focussing their energies on creating a dark sound whilst standing apart from the mainstream of current heavy music. With the combined talents of ex members of 1000 Points of Hate and Xentrix, (Simon Gordon-Vocals) Dearly Beheaded (Tim Preston-Bass), Kill II This (Mark Mynett-Guitar) and Blaze & Paradise Lost, (Jeff Singer-Drums) City of God has an impressive pedigree but this is a band pushing itself beyond past achievements. The result is the incendiary debut album, "A New Spiritual Mountain", which was completed in January 2005. Produced by guitarist Mark Mynett, the album displays wide-ranging influences and moves seamlessly between ballistic brutal assault and strong melodic passages. There are moments of tranquil beauty juxtaposed with blistering noise, giving City of God a sound quite unlike anything else. But is the end, and this is where the band's true strength lies, it's all about great riffs, great vocal lines and fantastic songs.
