Once in Leeds Nerve Engine self-released 2 albums, the second of which ('Underneath The Sprawl') attracted the attention of Collective Management who went on to release the band's EP 'Red Son Rising' and subsequent single 'One Chance'. Positive reviews of these releases and the band's live shows appeared in Metal Hammer and Rock Sound magazines with the former moved to describe the band as having "riffs that Hetfield himself would be proud of" and being "well on their way to greatness".
