Force of Nature began as five guys creating music with a kicking groove, a fist full of power, and just in your face heaviness from South Jersey. The Force's first independent release, "Wreaking Havoc", (with former singer Fraser) set the stage for the band's onslaught on South Jersey. Over the years, the band's sound continues to evolve as does the membership, but all the while Force of Nature continues to respect their core influences of classic metal. Their cd " Sick, Warped & Twisted" was released in June 2004 and is more destructive than ever. Force of Nature is everything great about metal.
HEAVY...MELODIC...POWERFUL!
Their sound is influenced by bands such as Slayer, Flotsam & Jetsam, Machine Head, Anthrax, Iron Maiden, and Pantera, but bands like Mudvayne, Killswitch Engage, and SlipKnot also make their presence known in the latest of the Force's original material.
Dan sets the pace on drums with killer beats that keep you grooving while attacking you with his double kicks. Cherby, on bass, compliments the drums giving the music body and low end. Guitarists Burk and Glenn crunch and punch out metal riffs and melodic leads while Stang delivers his vocals with power, utilizing a dynamic range.
Force of Nature has been called "hard rocking, body slamming, foot stomping, head bashing, butt kicking metal mayhem. Psychotic!" by one mp3.com radio station. Another has said "Force of Nature has lots of true metal riffs and parts other bands are afraid to do." Their songs have been receiving airplay on Philadelphia area stations, including 94 WYSP, 89.7 WGLS Rowan University Radio, 91.5 WDBK Camden County College Radio, and 91.3 WVUD University of Delaware Radio.
Force of Nature would like to thank all their hosts for playing all local metal/hardcore bands. The band has performed around the tri-state area at The Trocadero and The Balcony (Phila., PA), Lamour (Brooklyn, NY), and several smaller clubs/bars in New Jersey. They have opened up for signed acts such as The Haunted, Flotsam and Jetsam, Witchery, Planet X, and Catastrophic.

Just wanted to let everyone know that we have selected a new drummer for the band and it is Jim Fare. Jim played nine years with Circle Of Fear and we welcome him into the band. Jim comes to the Malicious table with a solid attitude and a sht load of talent. Hes a great fit for the band and we're looking forward to playing alot of shows with him!
