Early 2011 bassist/vocalist Chris McEwen (Abyzmal, Troops of Doom, Obsidian Aspect) and lead guitarist Phil Bennett (Desert Eagle, Metallica Black Album Tribute, Iron Maiden Tribute) decided to form a thrash metal band after their current bands fell through.

The two came up with material quickly, the music heading into an old school thrash sound mixed with elements of 90's groove metal and dark/evil riffs. After a brief encounter with a drummer and a long search for a replacement, Jay Rahaley (Blood Mason, Treachery) was recruited to complete the line up. 

Hidden Intent's sound is a throwback to the old school days of thrash metal i.e. early Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Coroner. Punters have often said Hidden Intent's live shows/sound has been described as 'Good time thrash', 'energetic', 'amusing crowd interaction' and a reminiscence of Testament and Slayer .

Bring on the thrash! \m/
