Kids these days. When they’re not playing their xboxes and their facebooks and their skateboarding, they’re forming shredding metal bands like The Wrath of Vesuvius. The band, just signed to Abal Records, hails from the Sacramento area and has been playing shows up and down the valley and will continue with more shows in February and March. Their sound is a kind of blend of modern death metal and deathcore, although judging by their picture you’d think they were more of an alternative rock band.

Check out the song Declaring a Possession on their myspace page if you’re in the mood to hear some shreddery.
