The Fucking Wrath
The Fucking Wrath was conceived in Montalvo, California by three long-time
friends who worked in the same record store and lived on the same street.
While the members had each been playing in dedicated bands for more than ten
years, they initially formed T.F.W. as a result of jamming for fun after
work. Since their first gig in November of 2005, they have gone on to play
a continual string of shows that hasen't stopped yet. The band recorded
their first album, "Season Of Evil", during the week of 6/06/06. In true DIY
fashion the band payed for the recording themselves. After numerous shows
playing with a ride range of bands from Tragedy to Blue Cheer & High On Fire
to the Adolescents their mix of punk/stoner metal/rock n roll caught the
attention of Goodfellow & Challenge The Throne Records who released
"Seasons..." on CD & LP respectivly in August of 2007. With rave reviews
from print and online zines, the group embarked on two nation-wide tours and
several west coast ventures. The Fucking Wrath now averages close to 150
shows per year with no sign of slowing down. They have a track included on
the Nardcore Compilation: 30 Years Later LP on Burning Tree Records. In
2009, Brent Woodward joined the group, adding a second guitar to the mix.
Fueled by significant doses of THC, their songs are simultaneously heavy and
fast, while cleverly infused with slower, droned-down riffs and sudden
timing changes. The band's sound can be described as an amalgamation of
groups such as Discharge, Black Flag, The Melvins and Kill 'em All-era
Metallica. The Fucking Wrath consists of Craig Kasamis: guitar/guttural
onslaught, Nick Minasian: bass/visceral ravaging, Brent Woodward:
guitar/looking good, and John Crerar: really heavy drums.
