Ignitor (band)
Ignitor is a heavy metal band based in Austin, in the U.S. state of Texas. HistoryIgnitor was formed in 2003 by Erika Tandy (ex-Autumn Tears, vocals), Stuart Laurence aka Batlord (lead guitar, ex-Agony Column), Pat Doyle (ex-Offenders, ex-Pocket Fishrmen, drums), Beverly Barrington (ex-T.A.N.G., rhythm guitar), and Brendon Bigelow (ex-Death Of Millions, ex-T.A.N.G., bass guitar). In the spring of 2006, Beverly Barrigton left the band and was replaced with Annah Moore (ex-Boneglove, ex-Red Volution). The band has been compared to early NWOBHM acts, such as Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. In July 2005, the Austin Chronicle listed Erika Tandy number one in a list of top ten frontmen in Austin music.[1] In late 2007, Erika and guitarist Annah left the band for personal reasons. Founding member Beverly Barrigton was asked to rejoin the band and in October 2008. Then the band scored a coup de grace by recruiting legendary metal frontman Jason McMaster (Watchtower, Dangerous Toys) as lead vocalist, and recorded their second full-length album entitled The Spider Queen in 2009, and their third, "Year of the Metal Tiger" in 2012.[2] Discography
