CUSTARD have been active since 1987 but never really made it out of the underground. They released four studio albums between 1999 and 2008, and their fifth album now is the first to be released by Pure Steel Records.
Their older material was influenced by European Power Metal à la HELLOWEEN and GAMMA RAY, but now they’re trying a different style. Now their sound is more like US-metal, with high-pitch screams, which might remind you a bit of the God of Metal himself, Rob Halford. The vocals are accompanied by harmonic twin-guitars of the MAIDEN-school and a thundering double-bass. The production is very powerful which perfectly underlines the musical passion of this quintet. Their new guitarist, Anna Olejniczak, is the first female band member of CUSTARD.
