Band information
Ignite was a decidedly uneven Christian power metal band with a sound that aspired for Iron Maiden but always seemed to fall short of the mark. As a trio of Garland, who was always the lynchpin, plus Taylor and Thomas, Ignite released an EP and marketed themselves as 'monk metal' due to their penchant for dressing in monk habits. After this release, a series of mishaps, accidents and illness befell the band. Taylor was forced to leave and then Garland himself incurred an injury which forced the band into hiatus for some time. Some months later Garland revived the band, but decided to change the name after conflict of interest with the US hardcore act; this new format (called Draxsen) was shortlived.
