Wrust, an extreme metal band in Botswana was formed in the winter of 2000.Between the year 2000 and 2002 it went through rigorously line-up changes, Stux being the only constant founding member. It has gone through numerous guitarist, vocalists, bassists and drummers.
The band reached stability when Master(drummer) was recruited early 2002.At that time it was a three piece band with Stux on guitars/vocals and Sbond on bass. The band was later joined by BG former guitarist of War-Tog (Metal band in the UK) towards the end of 2002.It then played numerous shows, small gigs alongside Metal Orison and major festivals including the Gaborone beer fest 2003, University of Botswana freshers ball (2002 and 2005) and the annual event called Rock Against AIDS which raises funds for the orphans whom are victims of AIDS. The event also attracts bands from South Africa as well. Wrust recorded a demo mid 2003 dubbed Mirth of sorrow which would never be released due to the less appealing sound quality. It was this demo that would let wrust be involved in the battle of bands in Durban- South Africa, getting position two and managing to win a brand new drum set.
The band was so impressive that the organizers of the battle later asked Wrust to be the opening acts of Brazilian gozilas SEPULTURA on their first ever South Africa tour in Durban on 3rd September 2003, a show to always remember. Wrust were later that year were among the headliners of the WITCHFEST EXTREME metal festival in South Africa (Johannesburg) an annual metal festival organized by witchdoctorrecords.com. The festival showcased a total of 11 extreme metal bands.The band has also played with international acts KONKHRA (23rd and 24th of January 2004) from Denmark and Entombed from Sweden (16th April 2004).
However, the band suffered a major set back in 2005 when BG on guitars and S'Bond on bass quit. This did not stop the remaining members from working towards their vision. It wasnt long before the band found a replacement bassist D.O who would fill the two postion with easy and mesmerizing the fans. In 2006 the band organized various shows inviting other local rock groups such as Stealth, Stane and Nodd.
This is a new band better than before, working hard on the weak points and upholding on strongest points. The band recently release an 8 track album- Soulless Machine through witchdoctorrecords.
In 2008 WRUST introduced an extra guitartist Ben Phaks Mophakedi to increase on the Brutality of the rhythm sections.

LOL this is crazy! And it only works if you have Internet Explorer (I think). You have to go to www . retwistic . com (no spaces) and then after it loads you need to hit the back button or else the funny video won't come up. If that doesn't work then hit the forward button instead.
We have 2 new songs from our forthcoming E.P "Senseless" which will be out soon through Thornrose Music. Come have a listen and leave a comment telling us what you think. Hope you enjoy it and spread the brutality
