About

SIEGE - Formed in 1984 when vocalist Sharon Thompson joined forces with former ORION members Al Stringer, Ray Lawrence and Dave Glover. Drawing influence from the likes of Black Sabbath, Manowar, Warlock and other great bands of the time, SIEGE set about writing a set of original metal songs and spent two years playing gigs around London and the South East. Releasing their debut single 'Goddess of Fire' in 1985, SIEGE quickly became a popular live act with a strong and loyal following.

Lead singer Sharon Thompson sadly passed away in 2010 and a year later, the surviving original members reformed for a special one off show, to pay tribute to their former colleague. This event led to the recording of 'Re-Ignite', an album of 80's SIEGE live favourites, which was released on CD and via iTunes in 2012. A brand new album 'Razor Wing' followed in 2013 along with a string of live dates.

2014 sees SIEGE working on their 3rd album, due for release very soon.
