The band have toured once with (and as) The Crack Rock Steady 7 (featuring Stza from LOC on vocals) and once with Leftover Crack (in which G filled in for Brad Logan on guitar).
Prior to this tour, Callum Howell from Lincoln based band MCD joined The Infested on guitar and vocals before the 2006 LOC tour but sadly died shortly after, which understandably resulted in The Infested's hiatus.
The Infested is currently undergoing a full lineup change which introduces Phil from Hereford band "Shutdown". The Infesteds debut album was released on "EHC Records" and "Pumpkin Records" on November 3rd 2008. The record took around 4 years to write and was recorded as and when by G Infested.
The Infested went on their first tour in support of the album 'Myths, Lies & Hypocrites' in Dec 09' these were the first shows the band had played for 3 years the lineup consisting of G Infested - Vocals/Guitars , Phil - Guitar/Vocals, Dave Long - Bass/Vocals and Andy Dazzler - Drums.
Now in 2013 the brand new album 'Eaten From The Inside' is set to be released 1st July 2013 on EHC Records. Pre orders can be made from www.theinfested.bigcartel.com

Impulse
The Infested Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Countless lives ending at the same time
Leads to a reaction, like a wave, a tremor through the whole
Taking the way to somewhere else
Or maybe staying at its place of birth
Hanging above like a cloud of dust
Waiting to come down, to unload the tension in this scene
You feel it like a shiver, spreading and carrying what's gone
Until it breaks down again
It could be a beginning, it should be
But the tightening ends like it began
Time shows us the continuity
Death follows death, for it's one
Something changes, nothing without a reason
And nothing is like it was before
The wave finds the way to our hands
It fades away taking some with it
To create the balance, the silent shadow disappears
And the next hands react
The Infested’s song Impulse speaks to the destructive power of human actions and its reverberations. The opening lines “the death of thousands or one by the hand of men, countless lives ending at the same time” highlight the chaos caused by human actions leading to the loss of lives. The following line “leads to a reaction, like a wave, a tremor through the whole” highlights how such events can create a ripple effect that moves throughout the world, leading to unpredictable and often catastrophic consequences.
The song talks about the aftermath of such events and how they change the world, “something changes, nothing without a reason, and nothing is like it was before.” The next lines “the wave finds the way to our hands, it fades away taking some with it, to create the balance, the silent shadow disappears, and the next hands react” highlight how the events create a balance, leading to the rise and fall of power, where one group takes charge and then fades away, and another rises to take its place.
The lyrics end on an ambiguous note “it should be, but the tightening ends like it began, time shows us the continuity, death follows death, for it's one” which suggests that the cycle of violence and destruction continues. The lyrics of Impulse are a poignant reflection of the world we live in today, where violence, hatred, and war continue to devastate lives.
Line by Line Meaning
The death of thousands or one by the hand of men
Many lives lost due to human actions
Leads to a reaction, like a wave, a tremor through the whole
Causes a ripple effect that affects everything
Taking the way to somewhere else
Moving away from the current situation
Or maybe staying at its place of birth
Choosing to remain in the current situation
Hanging above like a cloud of dust
Looming over, waiting to settle
Waiting to come down, to unload the tension in this scene
Anticipating the release of built-up stress
You feel it like a shiver, spreading and carrying what's gone
The effect is palpable, carrying the weight of what was lost
A moment of peace, calm and deaf
A brief respite, a moment of tranquility that's numbing
Until it breaks down again
The peace is short-lived, inevitably leading to more chaos
It could be a beginning, it should be
The situation has potential for change, it should be seized
But the tightening ends like it began
The tension does not relent, returning to its original state
Time shows us the continuity
The cycle of life and death persists over time
Death follows death, for it's one
Death begets death, forming a chain
Something changes, nothing without a reason
Change is inevitable, always having a cause
And nothing is like it was before
The situation has irrevocably changed
The wave finds the way to our hands
The ripple effect reaches us, affecting us directly
It fades away taking some with it
The ripple effect subsides, taking some of its impact with it
To create the balance, the silent shadow disappears
To restore equilibrium, the hidden forces behind the scenes must go away
And the next hands react
The next generation is affected and must respond accordingly
