Extreme O.D. is a four piece heavy metal band from Stoke-on-Trent, UK. Currently on the verge of a breakthrough era, with the recent addition of the awesome talent & colossal voice of Katie Cairns; the band is galvanised & infused with the conviction to project itself brutally into the light. 

Originally formed in 2007, the band quickly made an impact on the live circuit & their music has been credibly likened to the likes of Lamb Of God, Devildriver, Pantera, Machine Head & Tool. Guitarist Kieron Berry (ex Pain Control/Razorwire) put together Extreme O.D.'s initial recording, the EP "Abomin8", using guest musicians. A full line-up was later established, with bassist Ian Deaville, drummer Brin Roberts & vocalist Mitch Russell. That line-up recorded the band's 2^nd EP "This Is The End" in 2009, after which Mitch Russell departed for personal reasons, leaving the void which Katie Cairns has so forcefully filled. In September 2010 founder member Kieron Berry left the band & was replaced quickly by Jim Knights.

Extreme O.D. has been covered in Metal Hammer, Terrorizer, Zero Tolerance and Devolution magazines. The EP title track "This Is The End" was played nationally on Kerrang Radio in November 2009. Metal Hammer's reviews editor James Gill had this to say about the band when reviewing "This Is The End".... "modern and classic" & " a great British metal band". 

A name-change, new material & recordings are planned for 2011 especially to enable recent new members Katie Cairns (vocals) & Jim Knights (lead guitar) an early opportunity to put their own stamp on the band's sound & this is seen as the precursor to Extreme O.D.'s debut full album release.

In August 2010 Extreme O.D. confirmed their signature to a management/development deal with Rocksector Records who were hugely impressed by the band's performances at SOS Festival & Bloodstock Open Air Metal Festival, both achieved after initial discussions between the band & label. Says Lynne Hampson (PR Manager at Rocksector).... "Extreme O.D. have a special talent with a bright future & are the first really heavy band to join the label. They shone at both SOS & Bloodstock festivals, garnering both audience & critical acclaim. We're delighted that they've decided to hook up with Rocksector & we look forward to much success together".
