Band/artist history
Den of Iniquity were formed by Sam Reece and Adam Penny in Oct 2000. Several line-up changes saw the arrival of Fred White, Marty Harley and Jimi Nix. Since then they have established a considerable fan base in the East Anglia and London areas. Sam departed in Aug 2004, but was quickly replaced with Martin 'Butch' Butcher to great acclaim from the fans and members of the industry. In April 2005, Adam departed the band to pursue other interests. Three guitarists are currently in line to see if they are worthy to fill these very big shoes. Watch this space. In August 2005, Den of Iniquity called it a day. We want to thank all the friends, family and fans who supported us over the years.
