'''Formed in 2004 by Neil Blanchett – Guitar (ex Garden Of Remembrance, Diavolo) & Bryan J Porter - Vocals (ex Decadence, Diavolo) they recruited Jay Nielsen - Drums (ex Honey Toad), Tom Smith - Bass (ex Diavolo), Giancarlo Di Cristofaro - Guitar (ex Decadence), and Wayne Jackson - Vocals (ex Garden Of Remembrance).

After the departure of bassist Tom in 2005, they asked a good friend Ryan Fosse (ex Nexus) to take over the bass duties as full time member. It wasn’t long before they jumped into the studio to record their first self titled EP. They embarked on a long list of gigs throughout the rest of 2005/2006 and landing a slot on the Bloodstock Open Air Festival unsigned stage in 2007 playing to a 300 plus audience, gave them the boost to start recording their second EP 'Inside The Rage'. After taking 8 months out to record, they decided to host their own ‘All Dayer’ asking good friends from bands they had played with on tour to join the line up. 'Gods Of Hellfire', 'Mantra', 'Amaron', 'Lazarus Blackstar', 'Eyesore Angels' to name a few, they called it 'Downtrodden' bringing 2008/2009 to a close. Soon after, with the departure of guitarist Giancarlo and Vocalist Wayne, the guys looking to the future, asked guitarist Simon Wright (ex Amaron) to take over the axe duties. With new blood from Simon & Neil complimenting the music, they evolved, becoming heavier and started to write new tunes along the way. With the guys all in favor of the ‘Math' going forward as a one vocal band, Bryan grabbed hold of the challenge as sole front man. The studio beckoned, and in late 2010 they started recording their third EP, their strongest to date. 'Existence', produced by Dan Mullins and Phil Mathews. With a host of gigs, radio interviews, magazine features and 'Downtrodden 2' just round the corner, The Aftermath are ready for 2011 and beyond.'''
