Warbeast

Bio:

The band was originally formed in the fall of 2006 under the name Texas Metal Alliance. In April 2009 the band officially changed their name to WARBEAST. The band is signed to Philip Anselmo's label Housecore Records.

With the “retro-thrash” trend in full-swing, and hordes of bands trying to re-create “old school metal”, Texas monsters WARBEAST offer the real thing. Their music is not the result of careful study of 80’s thrash or classic metal; it just comes naturally because that is who they are.

RIVETHEAD is a Dallas, TX based quartet whose music paints musical soundscapes like a cyborg armed with a XM214 machine gun, blasting holes through a more-than-boring landscape filled with mundane terrestrial radio-rock, sappy grunge rock, and scream-a-bit-too-much-latetly?-scream-o rock.

RIVETHEAD has an impressive resume, having had music cranked up on nationally syndicated radio shows, XM Radio, at Dallas Stars and Dallas Cowboys games (as well as several minor hockey league teams), on several television shows, and has been featured on a motion picture’s soundtrack. The list of credits is too long to list here, but you can watch some of the clips on our TV page (listed above), which includes some pretty wicked RIVETHEAD riffing from That Metal Show. The band has toured from their hometown of Dallas to California and back and has opened for many touring national acts.
