History

Ignitor was formed in 2003 by Erika Tandy, Stuart Laurence aka Batlord, Pat Doyle, Beverly Barrington, and Brendon Bigelow. In the spring of 2006, Beverly Barrigton left the band and was replaced with Annah Moore. The band has been compared to early NWOBHM acts, such as Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. In July 2005, the Austin Chronicle listed Erika Tandy number one in a list of top ten frontmen in Austin music.
In late 2007, Erika and guitarist Annah left the band for personal reasons. Founding member Beverly Barrigton was asked to rejoin the band and in October 2008. Then the band scored a coup de grace by recruiting legendary metal frontman Jason McMaster as lead vocalist, and recorded their second full-length album entitled The Spider Queen in 2009, and their third, "Year of the Metal Tiger" in 2012.
