As We Fight started in July 2001 in Fredericia, Denmark. The ambition was to give it all and to take their music far through a variety of influences from member to member, which has resulted in a blend of European, American and Scandinavian metal.
Three days in September 2002 spent with Tue Madsen at the Antfarm Studio (The Haunted, Sick Of It All, Himsa, Kataklysm, Rob Halford) were converted into the debut release, which the band released by themselves in April 2003!
This record was supported by tons of shows in Denmark and some weekend raids outside the country playing festivals. By the summer of 2003, As We Fight had landed a record-deal with Belgium's Good Life Recordings.
In February 2004, As We Fight went into the Antfarm Studio once again to record their debut full length - "Black Nails and Bloody Wrists". The album was released in April 2004 and received great reviews from magazines worldwide while the band supported the album by massive touring the following 18 months through Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Holland, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland in addition to a full Denmark tour with Hatesphere.
As We Fight spent 2005 writing songs for the next album while continuing to play shows and festivals in Europe.
The focus for As We Fight in 2005 was primarily to write new songs for their second album while still taking their time to play shows and festivals in the Northern part of Europe. In addition, the "Black Nails and Bloody Wrists" album was re-released by German label Dockyard1 while the band landed an award for "Best Danish Live Band" at the Danish Metal Awards!
In July 2006, As We Fight entered the studio with Jacob Bredahl (Hatesphere) to record their second full length album – "Midnight Tornado"! An album that shows the bands urge to push the boundaries of today's metal by adding 80s heavy metal and rock'n'roll into the As We Fight sound. Once again, the band chose to work with Tue Madsen for the mix and mastering process. "Midnight Tornado" was released in October 2006, and was followed by a sold out X-Mas Tour with Caliban and a headlining Denmark tour in February/March 2007. Additional massive touring is scheduled in support of the new album.
