"Head-shaking stoner riffs, thundering drums, and guttural growl vocals
dense enough to choke a Jehovah’s Witness on their own sense of moral
martyrdom. Thank you, sir! May I have another?" - Tiny Mix Tapes
"doomy slabs of Sabbath steez" - Prefix Mag
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 wide range of bands from Tragedy to Blue Cheer to High On Fire and The Adolescents. Their
mix of punk/stoner metal/rock n roll caught the attention of Goodfellow
and 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.
