 With a polished three track demo in hand MDK started playing around the Melbourne scene in September 2005. However, with rising metal powerhouses Exit Wounds gaining a significant following, it was time to say goodbye to the guitarist shared by both bands. After an extensive search and the bands direction analyzed, a new guitarist was found who both suited and yet took the band further in the direction they wished to travel. Back in the saddle MDK have wasted no time picking up where they left off. Over the following months after the return they are playing shows with interstate bands Parkway Drive, Miles Away and Bagster, and plan on venturing into interstate realms themselves in June. All going according to plan, this will be followed up by their debut EP towards the end of 2006. With an open mind yet no desire to reinvent the wheel, MDK grind out the typically engaging high energy tunes we have come to expect from the punk and metal genres. Unashamedly inspired by local acts such as Irrelevant and Awayfromnow, MDK also draw collective stimulus from Killswitch Engage, Thrice, Boysetsfire and Poison The Well. With a healthy attitude towards actually enjoying playing music, for the sake of playing music, MDK lock and load with an arsenal of metal breakdowns, hardcore riffs and punk melodies all evident on the three demo tracks: Imprints, Histories Page & Worst Case Scenario. Keep an eye on local press and come judge this band for yourself. |
