1. dreadnaught

   A "dreadnought" is a type of battleship that was prevalent in the early 20th century, characterized by its heavy armor and large caliber guns. The first of its kind was the British Royal Navy's HMS Dreadnought, launched in 1906, which began a new era in naval warfare often referred to as the 'dreadnought era'. The term can also refer to a fearless person or a heavy overcoat for stormy weather. Additionally, in the context of guitar, a dreadnought is a type of acoustic guitar body shape that is larger and often produces a louder, deeper sound.

1. Dreadnaught

   Dreadnaught is a heavy metal band from Melbourne, Australia. The group was formed out of the remnants of some Tasmanian bands including Fridge from Launceston who recorded an album in 1994. The band recorded a single titled "Flowers" in 1995 that was released on cassette by Melbourne label Subversive. The following year the full-length album Body.Blood.Skin.Mind saw release on Deported. This album displayed a combination of dark, introspective rock and melodic, progressive thrash metal. Citing a breach of contract from the label that stemmed from inadequate promotion, Dreadnaught successfully sued Deported and had the album re-released on BlahBlahBlah Records in 1997. Deported subsequently folded as a result. In the meantime, the band was forced to change the spelling of its name from the original "Dreadnought" to the current affectation when it was discovered that Queensland finance company Dreadnought Finance held a trademark on the name. The independently-released EP "Idiosyncracy" appeared in 1998 and at approximately the same time, drummer Aaren Suttil formed a thrash metal band called Atomizer while still remaining a member of Dreadnaught. During 1999, Dreadnaught began touring more widely, supporting Cathedral, Pitchshifter and Nevermore on Australian tours. The band also signed to Roadrunner Records through what was at the time an Australian-based development roster called Dark Carnival. Dreadnaught's first album release for the label was 2000's Down to Zero. The style of music on the album was less progressive and with more of a rock feel. Shortly after its release, bass player Andy Livingston-Squires left the band. He was replaced by Ando McDougall; in the interim, Dreadnaught recorded an EP in early 2001 called "One Piece Missing" with Michael Meagher on bass. A national tour was mounted with fellow Dark Carnival signing Frankenbok. This was followed by tours with Devin Townsend and Nickelback later the same year.
