Our Story
Forged in 2003 by members of Agony Column and the Offenders who wanted to start a classic metal band to fill a musical void in their hometown of Austin, Texas. IGNITOR began turning heads in several countries after releasing a 6-song EP TAKE TO THE SKY to rave reviews in 2004, when Germany’s Rock Hard magazine named it "Demo of the Month." IGNITOR made their European debut at the Keep it True Festival in Germany in November 2005, where they stunned the crowd and were named "Best KIT Newcomer" by Mario’s Metal Mania magazine. Master metal-piper Jason McMaster climbed on board in 2009. The band has formed a partnership with Dies Irae (Brazil) which will produce a new album in 2016 as well as make the IGNITOR back catalog available worldwide in all formats.
