Wage War is a metalcore band hailing from Ocala, Florida, formed in 2010. Since their inception, the group has been lauded for their potent blend of melodic riffs, aggressive breakdowns, and a dual-vocal approach, carving out a space for themselves in the heavy music scene. Wage War consists of lead vocalist Briton Bond, rhythm guitarist and clean vocalist Cody Quistad, lead guitarist Seth Blake, bassist Chris Gaylord, and drummer Stephen Kluesener.

The band made a solid entry into the music world with their debut album "Blueprints" in 2015, which they revisited with an anniversary edition, underlining its enduring relevance in their discography. Building on their initial momentum, Wage War followed up with the much-acclaimed albums "Deadweight" in 2017 and "Pressure" in 2019, showcasing their ability to evolve their sound while maintaining a fierce intensity. Recognized for their energetic live performances and the emotional depth in their lyricism, the band took a stripped-back approach with "The Stripped Sessions," offering a more intimate reimagining of some of their powerful tracks. This endeavor highlighted the band’s versatility and ability to connect with listeners through different sonic textures. Their 2021 release "Manic" encapsulated their continued growth, embracing a slew of genre influences while still anchoring their music in a metalcore foundation. Wage War's consistent output and dedication to their craft have earned them a dedicated following, and their journey continues to be one of relentless passion and musical exploration.
