Forgery is a thrash/speed metal band from Canberra, Australia. Formed in 2007 while its members were still at school together, the band takes influence from classic bands such as: Sodom, Destruction, Venom, Onslaught, Whiplash, early Kreator and many more.

They started writing their own material in early 2008 and now perform that material live. They still, however, also feature authentic covers in their set of the classic bands they take influence from.

Their gigs to date have been mainly in and around the Canberra district although they have played in Sydney and country NSW as well.

The band has just released their debut EP - its first recording which was mastered by the legendary Harris Johns known for his work with Sodom, Kreator, Coroner, Exumer, Pestilence and many more. The EP consists of all original material. The album has been well received. They are still writing new material and plan at some time in the future to record a full length album.

The band comprises Luke Bennett on bass guitar and lead vocals, his twin brother Josh Bennett on drums and Tim Sheppard on lead guitar and back-up vocals.

Members are:
Luke Bennett - Bass/Vokills
Tim Sheppard - Guitar
Josh Bennett - Drums

The band recently had to change their name from FORGERY to HELLBRINGER because of a good deal they've been offered by German distrubuter IRON PEGASUS to have their debut EP Hellbringer released on vinyl in Europe.

So the problem is that there is another FORGERY from Norway signed on the popular label Candlelight Reocords thus they had to change the band name to avoid problems and confusion.

?We are NOT changing our style at all and will continue to thrash you maniacs!'
