One cold winter's morning a (relatively) young Myles-Harald Tauchert was out and about beating his chest and being generally manly when a very strange thing happened...he started to sing.

Now this may not seem all that unusual to you, but to put things into perspective you need to know a little about the man. Myles was from the notoriously dangerous Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne. He liked cars, he liked meat, but he certainly did not like singing.

Myles-Harald was as amazed as any of the startled onlookers to hear the notes spewing forth from his oversized and overused mouth. It started as somewhat of a musical convulsion...'Oooh!' he chanted.

'Ah Oooh!' was then blurted out straight away.

Pretty soon he was power posing on the footpath chanting 'Oooh Ah Oooh!' over and over with a steadily building crowd watching.

It turned out that Myles-Harald was having an out of body experience. One that would change his life and the course of mankind for ever (or so he tells it anyway).

He was now a singer and he knew that it was his destiny to form the greatest band in the history of everything. He wanted to call it 'The Greatest Band in the History of Everything' but was quite wisely advised to choose a shorter name...BARBARIÖN!

Myles-Harald set about approaching some of the most powerful musical warriors on the planet, many of whom were instantly put off by his lack of personal hygiene and extreme arrogance. After many months of searching the globe, from Hawthorn to Box Hill, he finally found a group of outrageously talented outcasts who joined together to help realise his vision.

They quickly set about hammering, welding and bashing together all manner of hard-core rock and soft-core metal concepts into a sound that transfers mere mortals all over the world into mighty god-warriors, capable of breaking free of the bland shackles of the mundane.

There is more to Barbariön than raw musical power. The Barbariön stage show combines historically inaccurate, sexually ambiguous, highly flammable costumes with hastily assembled pyrotechnics in confined spaces, and incorporates ‘carefully’ choreographed guitar moves and plenty of exposed flesh. There is rarely a dull moment when those crazy Barbarions are around.

In 2009 Barbariön released their debut album, Feast on the Beast. This was quickly followed by the call-to-arms EP AAAAARRGGGHH! in 2010, which is out now on Gaga Digi. In 2011 they toured Australia as part of the Big Day Out festival and founded the mighty Barbariön Horde.

According to Myles-Harald, by 2013 97% of the world's population will have heard of them and by 2015 the whole world will be enslaved by them. On a sad note he also predicts that by 2020 half of the original band members will most likely be dead. Although he has not so far provided any statistical evidence to support his claims, he assures the public that his predictions are very, very accurate.

Barbarion's legacy shall be a world where it is no longer acceptable for men to use moisturiser, a world where coffee shops will only serve beer and every car will be a V8. It will be a world where 'haircut' is a dirty word and all meals come with a side of steak. It will be Utopia and Barbariön will force you to love it.

So...do you want...Barbarion...AAAAARRGGGHH!!!
