All Living Fear

British Gothic Rock Band

All Living Fear are an Alternative Rock band from the South West of England. The band was formed in 1992 by Matthew North and the core of the band was sealed in 1994 with the arrival of vocalist Andrew Racher. The mid-1990s British Gothic scene was based around the world of the fanzine, All Living Fear were very prolific in this genre and gained a large underground following resulting in their debut single Jessica selling out of its first pressing in just a few weeks and becoming Kerrang! magazine's single of the week comparing Racher’s vocals to Dave Vanian of The Damned. Jessica was the only release to have a drummer (John Macklin) and keyboards and to be produced by Steve Paine (Paine and Macklin both from the progressive rock band Legend) All Living Fear in 1995 were the first band in the UK south of Bristol to have an online presence and had much airplay on BBC Radio. The band changed singers in 1998 new singer Paul Roe and took a more Rock oreantated direction. An album Into The Light was released before the band decided to form Corrosion. In 2001 All Living Fear reformed with Racher and North, released the much praised Home Too Soon and soon were supporting the likes of Wayne Hussey, The Damned and All About Eve.
