Dendera (band)
Dendera is a British metal band from Portsmouth, England. Dendera currently consists of lead singer Ashley Edison, lead guitarists Stephen Main, David Stanton, bassist Bradley Edison and drummer Andy Finch. As of June 2015, Dendera have released two studio albums and three EPs. In 2016, Ashley Edison joined Power Quest as lead vocalist. Quote Ashley: "It is an honour to front one of my favourite bands of all time. Although as great as this may be, my duties and commitments with Dendera remain the same" History. The band was formed in 2007 by original guitarists Tony Fuller and  Steve Main. In the early stages of the band Dendera wrote what would become their 2011 EP. Ashley Edison took over as lead vocals in 2010 following a six-month search for a lead singer. Edison's vocals lifted the band to a new level giving Dendera the much needed status they deserved, with vocals shadowing Bruce Dickinson Rob Halford and James Labrie. After becoming a success in the Portsmouth and Southampton area, it was apparent Dendera had the potential to become a successful act. Therefore, after a favourable performance supporting Taking Dawn in 2011 there was a call for  a change in the band's lineup. Dendera hired Drummer Andy Finch and bassist Bradley Edison (brother to Ashley) and produced their first studio album "The Killing Floor" which was well received by critics. On the departure of original guitarist Tony Fuller in 2015, David Stanton joined the band; assisting in the production of second album, "Pillars of Creation". Dendera have had several successful UK tours; touring with bands such as Saxon, Anvil and Queensrÿche.
