About
The metal scene has had its ups and downs over the years. It has survived the trends, it has went through evolutions, and after decades it still exists due to its die hards. Hailing from the frozen soils of Minnesota comes a band that has its deep roots in metal. This band does not have fancy hair-dos, they do not wear tight jeans or try to act like something they are not. For all these members have been through the rollercoaster of the metal eras dating back decades and have stayed true to the music.
Owing to their love of history and the powerful sounds of metal combined with some classical elements comes the war machine known as Westwall. The formula for Westwall is one of straightforward, brutality with touches of technicality. Feeling that too many bands nowdays try to play 1 million miles an hour and throw in as much wanking as possible with lyrics that are not understandable, Westwall goes into another direction. Combining the punishing straightforward metal with intelligent and understandable lyrics is the formula to their success. They say life is a struggle, to us everything is a war, and so Westwall is a war metal band.
The band members have been into the metal scene for 3 decades, growing up on the greats such as Iron Maiden, then being a part of the first thrash wave with such bands as Exodus, Destruction, and the such. Having played in some of the legendary Twin Cities death metal bands such as Ossuary Insane, Dominion, Defile and Before God. The finest of these musicians have come together to form the Juggernaut now known as Westwall. These 4 Barbarians serve up the true sounds of a war machine, ready to conquer any and every listener they come across.
