Bio
DOWNLOAD OUR NEW EP HERE: http://www.mediafire.com/?92fv0cyw69p8pz4 Fog of war was formed in late 2004 from the remnants of two local thrash groups, C.H.U.D. Crusher, and Demilitia. The initial line-up consisted of Josh Branum on vocals/lead guitar, Joe Orterry on bass, Matt O'Connell on drums and Jon Fryman on lead guitar. Opting to forgo playing cover songs, F.O.W. began cranking out original tunes from the start, and in no time had built a modest setlist which was recorded, and thus, the first demo was released in May of '05. The earlier recorded material was a little scattered in terms of influence, the vocals bordering on black metal, and many melodic riffs and leads rounded out a primarily thrash influenced sound. As time went on, the true sound of F.O.W. began to take shape. As the next batch of songs came to fruition, a faster, more aggressive proto-punk/hardcore edge became more prevalent, crossover style vocals replacing the raw black metal-esque vocals. Among the undeniable crossover influence was still a tight, technical musicianship synonymous with the thrash metal name. With a solid sense of direction in place, a second demo, the M.C.T. EP was released in spring of 2006. Shortly after the new recordings were completed, a line up change took place in the form of Alex Winkley replacing Jon on lead guitar duty. A rigorous schedule of shows and song writing followed for the next few years, the band finally wrapping up the production of their debut album, the self titled Fog Of War, in 2009. The album, released in October to a very positive response from thrashers and metalheads alike, was the bands first mighty stomp into the full length category, clocking in at about 42 minutes with ten tracks vicious enough to sate any thrashers appetite for mosh inducing, head splitting thrash metal! Now that the album had finally been released, the band could once again place all its focus on song writing, producing songs even more aggressive and technical than the ones that had come before. Mid-2010 saw the return of Jon Fryman on lead guitar duties, replacing Alex Winkley due to differences within the band. In November 2010, the new EP "Confessions of a Thrashaholic" was released to give fans an idea of what's to come on the next full length. In early 2011, long time bassist and friend Big Joe Orterry departed the band to tend to personal matters. Filling his spot on bass would be Jon "Lumberjack" Fryman's brother, Nick "LumberNick" Mamere, an excellent musician well versed in thrash and speed metal. In a relatively groundbreaking twist, the band invited Alex Winkley back into the band as a third guitarist. The new material being written from then on out to take full advantage of 3 guitars, the band's sound has grown stronger and more technically-edged than ever. FOW is planning to record and release a brand new full length later this year, and will continue its dominance as one of the more technical and powerful thrash bands on the circuit!
