Led by the expressive and powerful voice of Tiffeny Joyce,their fresh and unique sound encompasses all of their influences from American Rock to pop, punk,electronica and R&B.

Lycan's Blood are a five piece groove metal band, hailing from Tunbridge Wells, Kent. They started out in early April 2007. Originally, just as a three piece consisting of Matt Clarke, Jem Braidwood and Phil Hutchins.
A shift in the line up during early 2008, resulted in Alex Williamson and Rob Tilbury joining the band. This brought about a new energy in Lycan’s Blood and a new passion to thrive to their full musical potential.
Ever since then they have devoted themselves to incorporate elements of music they are most passionate about such as Metal, Hardcore and Thrash into their own music.
Over the past two years, the band have worked hard to build up their reputation on and off the stage as enthusiastic, dedicated musicians. They have just finished recording their debut album ‘Black Lung’ (2009) which will be available to buy/download in the coming months!
Constantly defining the bands sound, Lycan’s Blood continue to slam out the riffs and bring the rawness back into Metal.
Alex left the band in September 2009 due to starting university. Since then, we have a new guitarist, Phil Meakins and a new bassist, Sean De Burca.
