🔥 ASOMVEL – BAND BIO

Who are they?
Asomvel are a British heavy metal / speed metal band formed in Yorkshire, 1993. They’ve built a cult following by being loud, nasty, and unashamedly Motörhead-worshipping riff maniacs. If you’re looking for subtlety, turn back now – Asomvel are all about grit, speed, and the smell of spilled lager on a pub floor.

Think Motörhead meets Venom meets Tank – it’s biker metal, booze metal, road metal… basically, music to crash a Harley through your local Wetherspoons to. 🏍️🍺

⚡ The Sound

Expect:

• Chainsaw riffs straight out of the NWOBHM book of chaos.
• Gravel-throated vocals that sound like Lemmy’s illegitimate cousin after ten pints of John Smith’s.
• Bass as loud as the guitars (proper low-end filth, just how it should be).
• Lyrics about war, booze, death, and fighting – the holy quartet of metal.
• Energy levels permanently stuck on 11.

This is no-frills, denim-and-leather, speed-drenched heavy metal – music to live fast, die loud, and never apologise.

🪓 The Band – Line-Up

• Conan – Bass / Vocals (band leader since 2010, snarls like Lemmy’s Yorkshire nephew).
• Rufus “Hobo” Owen – Guitars (axe-slinger, brings the speed and filth).
• Rick – Drums (keeps the chaos in check with pounding, road-warrior beats).

Founders: The band was originally put together by Jay-Jay Winter (bass/vocals) and Lenny Robinson (drums) back in ’93. Tragically, Jay-Jay passed away in a car accident in 2010, but the band carried on in his honour, led by his cousin Conan.

💿 Discography – The Wrecking Yard of Riffs

• Full Moon Dog (2009) – Raw, fast, filthy. A proper biker-metal debut that became underground legend.
• Knuckle Duster (2013) – First with Conan fronting. Punchier, meaner, and even more Motörhead-charged.
• World Shaker (2019) – Their most polished chaos yet. Tracks like “True Believer” and “Payback’s a Bitch” prove they’re not slowing down.

🎪 Live Shows – Where They Do the Damage

Asomvel are a live band first and foremost. If you’ve caught them at festivals like Bloodstock or at grimy UK clubs, you know what to expect:

• Deafening amps
• Denim, leather, and bullet belts everywhere
• Conan barking into the mic like a warlord
• Chaos, headbanging, and beer flying by the second track

They even host their own annual memorial festival, Full Moon Dog, in honour of Jay-Jay – a celebration of underground metal and no-bullshit rock ‘n’ roll.

🏴 The Vibe

• Yorkshire attitude – blunt, heavy, and no compromise.
• Motörhead spirit – they don’t hide their influences, they celebrate them.
• Cult legends – if you know, you know. If you don’t, you’re probably listening to Coldplay. 😅

🚀 The Future

They may never hit mainstream arenas, but that’s not the point – Asomvel are about keeping the flame alive for filthy, fast, underground British heavy metal. They’ll keep touring, keep releasing snarling records, and keep making sure pubs and clubs across the UK never run out of ringing ears.

🎧 Final Verdict:
Asomvel are the spiritual heirs of Motörhead, a proper biker-metal machine running on speed, sweat, and stubborn Yorkshire pride. Loud, fast, dirty – exactly how rock ‘n’ roll should be.
