Editor's note

Wage War's metalcore stays heavy and melodic

A Florida band that formed in 2015 and has kept its sound steady through lineup changes.

If you want to hear their mix of heavy and melodic, try 'Ghost' or 'True Colors'. They're straightforward examples of what they do.

They've been a reliable presence in metalcore since their 2015 debut EP 'Alive', delivering the kind of heavy guitar work and melodic vocals that define the genre. Songs like 'Ghost' show their knack for balancing aggressive breakdowns with clean vocal passages. They haven't reinvented themselves, but they've stuck to what works.

The band started in Ocala, Florida in 2015 with brothers Cody and Stephen Quistad. After their first album 'Blueprints' in 2017, they went through some lineup changes in 2019 but kept releasing music, putting out 'Low' in 2022.

Their first full-length album 'Blueprints' came out in 2017 and reached number 18 on the Billboard Hard Rock Albums chart. They followed it with 'Deadweight' in 2019. Songs like 'Stitch' and 'The Line' from these albums show their mix of aggressive instrumentation and clean vocal passages.

In 2019, original members Chris Gaylord and David Rau left the band. They were replaced by bassist Jonathon 'JD' Gibson and drummer Zach Hill. The band continued with this lineup and released their album 'Low' in 2022.
