Hallencourt

Hallencourt were a 5-piece Metalcore outfit from all over Wales, spreading from Pontypridd, Newport and even Monmouth (as well as Stoke-On-Trent too). The band formed from the ashes of one or two other bands (Amongst Carrion, Moments Before Oblivion) and upon forming in 2012 wasted no time writing and recording their debut EP Lifelines, as well as playing their first few gigs around the UK supporting the likes of Being As An Ocean, Vanna and Silent Screams.

The Lifelines EP was very well received in the local scene but after 2 shirt designs and a couple months later, the band decided to call it a day in 2013 after playing their final show supporting Oceans Apart for their EP launch.

Formation and Lifelines EP (2012-2013)
The band joined forces after Nick Cornwell and Scott Waters (Ex-Amongst Carrion), Rhys Walker-Williams (Ex-Moments Before Oblivion) and Conor Evans (Clear The Auditorium) were completed by Nick 'Patz' Patterson in 2012. The band immediately released the demo to a song called 'Harbinger'. After several months of quiet-time, the band announced a short UK tour with Avenge The Heartache for April, and the release of their debut EP 'Lifelines' in June 2013.

Breakup (2013)
Unfortunately, having only released Lifelines for a few months, in October 2013 the band announced their splitting. Stating 'We can't collectively contribute 100% anymore, and so it's an entirely mutual decision to bring Hallencourt to an end'. The band played their final show with the inclusion of 4 fill-in vocalists for 4 of their songs (Scott Carey from Falling With Style, Tomas Owen from From Her Eyes, Sam Kubrick from Shields and Matt Turner).

Months prior to their release, the Lifelines EP had time to sink in and is often referred to as a very strong local release. Combined with their musical talent and refreshing personalities, Hallencourt are a band that are already, and always will be, missed in the local scene.

Bassist Conor moved on to join Clear The Auditorium, Nick Cornwell moved on to The Buskets, Scott joined Archaen and Patz took time to work on his company Storm+Shelter.

Style And Influence
The band are a straight-up Metalcore band, but take a lot of influence from other genres such as Deathcore, Post-Hardcore and Melodic Hardcore. The bands influences include Texas In July, The Acacia Strain, Erra, Heart In Hand and Architects.
