Post Description

Ignorance was a thrash-funk metal band  from Britain. Based in East Midlands, they released two albums on the American Metal Blade Records in the early 1990s. The band was formed in Corby in the late 1980s by schoolfriends Niki Beric, Neil Duthie and Marcus Stone; their original name was Slamma. After bassist Stefan Brooks joined the band, they changed their name to Ignorance. Guitarist Steven John later joined the band, completing the group's final line-up. The first two demos  were raw and basic Bay-Area style thrash metal, but with the addition of John to the mix, their next demo—the now legendary "Why?"—proved to be their breakthrough on the burgeoning British thrash scene. The demo was well received and the band soon garnered management and a record deal with the Los Angeles based Metal Blade Records. In September 1990, the band flew to San Francisco in September 1990 to record their debut album, The Confident Rat, with producer John Cuniberti.
