Fellguard started in January of 2007, in Murrieta, Calif., but became complete in October of ‘07, and in their very first performance won “First Place” at the City of Murrieta Battle of the Bands! They were recently honored with the award of “Best High School Band 2008” at the Inland Empire Music Awards in January. As fans of neo-classical metal and old-school classic metal, Fellguard has fused these styles creating a unique sound all their own. Fellguard is now getting an average of 2-3 gigs a month, attending the world famous NAMM Show, gaining momentum among the metal scene, and designing their own custom guitars. They are real musicians who write and perform real songs with real singing. Fellguard has worked non-stop writing and recording new songs, as well as consistently performing in Los Angeles, Inland Empire and San Diego County. People are blown away at their professional and high-energy performances.
Fellguard captures fans who are craving a rock/metal sound reminiscent of past generations but with a new progressive twist. (i.e. Iron Maiden, Queensryche, Dio, Megadeth, Stryper, Judas Priest, Bruce Dickinson, Edguy, Kamelot, Stratovarious, Cellador ect.) The fast growing appetite for quality rock n roll is filled by Fellguard’s hard-rocking yet melodic guitar sounds.
