Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Formed from the ashes of a Metallica cover band, Negative Space was born in early October 2002. After spending most of Christmas writing material in their home made practice room, known to them as The Capsule, the band ventured out onto the Northern Ireland music scene where they have played several gigs in and around the Belfast and Downpatrick areas. They released a 2 track demo in mid 2003, a 5 track EP in April 2004, and have been gigging ever since, writing new material for their forthcoming release (hoped to be a full album, somewhere this side of christmas). Having played several key Belfast gigs, the band are now keen to make their way onto the Dublin circuit and spread the metal word south m/ _ m/
Eager to play more and more gigs, they have no intention of slowing down their hunt for fame.

Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Of course, playing live music is what being in a band is all about. The adrenaline you get from a live gig is overwhelming, and I think more or less everyone accepts that music sounds better live than in any format.
Your musical influences
Since 3 of the 4 of us were originally in a Metallica covers band, it seems obvious that our biggest influence should be Metallica themselves. On top of that, Korn, Pantera, Alice In Chains, Puddle Of Mudd, Saliva, Pearl Jam, SOiL, Mudvayne, Soundgarden, Rod Stewart.... the list goes on.
