BIRMINGHAM rockers Random Conflict formed in late 2005 and since then have carved out a reputation for an intense live show.

The band reject egos and trends in music, sticking to a policy of hard touring to showcase their passionate and brutal songs.

After two well received EP releases the five-piece are planning a full album launch later this year and a summer tour of Europe with fellow metalers Shaped By Fate.

Meanwhile, Random Conflict are getting set for a show at Wolverhampton's Little Civic with hardcore heroes Brutality Will Prevail on Sunday June 1.
