KNIFE EDGE was formed under the name Manticore in 1997 by musicians/ELP fans Phil and Jerry as a vehicle to allow them to perform the dynamic and eclectic music of Keith Emerson, Greg Lake, and Carl Palmer. The trio was completed by the addition of John, another musician and fellow ELP fan. KNIFE EDGE worked to provide our listeners and fellow ELP fans with technically accurate performances and aesthetically pleasing renditions of ELP's challenging and provocative repetoire.
At this time, KNIFE EDGE has officially ceased performing due to an injury sustained by John.
The band members continue to stay in contact and work on various musical projects.We hope you enjoy listening to what we recorded, as much as we enjoyed playing it!
