  • Bio

    Gross Reality's inception occurred when Daniel Powell and Jason Wheeler bonded over the love of thrash in mid 1990. This was the music we HAD to play! We recruited Shawn McCoy and Richie Peterson for guitars. Soon after Glen Crickmar joined on vocals and Mikey Bruce on guitar. In 1994 things changed. We met guitarist Roland Arthur. He came to try out for the band when Jason and Roland immediately started playing Slayer's Hallowed Point from beginning to end. We played it again once Daniel arrived and we decided right there that Roland was the new guitarist for us. Shawn McCoy returned for a bit and we thrashed around as a four piece playing local shows and National gigs with Type O Negative, Confessor, Malevolent Creation. We stopped playing together in 1996. In 2009 Daniel, Roland and Jason got back together and started playing out as a instrumental trio. Soon after Ray King took over vocals and we added second guitarist Chris Mullins for about one year. In 2012 Jason, Daniel, and Roland started to share vocal duties and now are a power trio playing many shows this year and recording new material very soon! Get Gross!
