Formed originally by 3 members - George Johnson - Drums, Joe Peek&Bruce Galliver - Guitars (2 of which remain)in the summer of 2005/2006. The trio first began writing relatively lighter more heavy rock material than the genre that the band has now adopted. In 2006 Jake Archer took up bass duties and Henry Rice-Smith the vocals. The name "Bucephalus" was accepted and this set up continued for the best part of the year and gigs where played in the local area to crowds made up of local metalheads and mates of the band. A rough EP - "War Steed" was recorded to give listeners a reasonable idea. Later in the year song progression slowed down and friction built up between members. A line up change resulted in George(Originally on Drums) taking up Joes guitar duties and an already established friend of the band Dominic MacMillan Scott picking up the StiX!Since then, song writing has continued to progress and is sounding better and better with every song. Gigs are now played around the neighbouring counties as to increase the fanbase and bring music to metalheads ears!The Mighty Bucephalus! Soon coming to a venue near YOU!
