Short Bio: Formed in 1982 by Mark Duffy and Pete McArdle, Millennium were featured on Guardian Records 1993 compilation album Pure Overkill alongside contemporaries Spartan Warrior, Tokyo Rose, Risk and Incubus and. The band went on to record their debut album ‘Millennium’ in 1984. The “Blue” album on vinyl is still sought after by fans. The band split in 1988. Mark Duffy went on to front thrash metal act Toranaga (link below) Millennium reformed in 2015 with Will Philpot on guitar. The idea of resurrecting Mark's NWOBHM band Millennium seemed an obvious choice as Mark had always felt that this chapter of Metal History was not yet over. Original members Steve Mennell and guitarist Dave Hardy were keen to revive the band. Gigs followed with a great response to the live appearances at Brofest, Live Evil, Mearfest, Headbangers open air festival Germany, Up the Hammers festival Greece. In February 2017, the band as it was, traveled to Coach House Studios in France to record the album, ‘AWAKENING’, a combination of NWOBHM riffage, Heavy Metal ideals and a lyrical call to arms. The band signed to Pure Steel Records in 2017, and with new members, recorded a new album, 2019s ‘A NEW WORLD’ which was received with critical acclaim and once again was a mixture of new influences and the ever present NWOBHM style. Their new album "The Sign of Evil" is released in May 2023 on No Remorse Records.
