Formed in Cambridgeshire, England, at the beginning of 2003, The More I See are an original Thrash Metal 5 piece.
In January 2008 TMIS signed to Transcend records to release their 2nd album “The Unholy Feast” Produced by STAMPIN’ GROUND guitarist SCOTT ATKINS and band guitarist GIZZ BUTT .The album was mixed by Metal legend ANDY SNEAP who amongst others has mixed MEGADETH,
TRIVIUM , KILLSWITCH ENGAGE and ARCH ENEMY.
Each band member has grown up with varying musical influences surrounding them and wanted to form a band which created the sound of the earliest thrash metal bands fused with some melodic might and strong powerful and meaningful lyric. Chad and Lee were old school friends playing an ALICE IN CHAINS influenced sound. Gizz Butt a Peterborough guitar teacher and Gavin had returned to their thrash roots after a USA trip with drummer Spike Smith playing in the ENGLISH DOGS.
Gizz is known for playing with THE PRODIGY between 96 – 99 when they were at their peak and the English Dogs from 1984 when they were the first UK band to fuse Metal and Punk together to create their version of the thrash metal sound. Before long Spike joined the band and he and Gizz went on to form WARDANCE another step towards the sound that The More I See make today. Lee and Gav began playing with Gizz in his band JANUS STARK who were signed to EARACHE records home of CARCASS.
