From Devon. They played their first gig at The Parrot in Torquay in the summer of 1992. The first band to play at the first Whitby Goth Festival.

The WebSite also gives information on The Crazy World of Arthur Brown. They have tended more towards rock guitar more recently. Around September, 1998 Ant was suffering from ill health, so All Living Fear became a duo.
