PATH OF WRATH: mosh with Wolf King at The X Bar.

When it comes to naming heavy bands, the economy of words allows for no inflation. If you must use a second word in your name, make it count. Wolf King got this right: the band name itself is as heavy as a semi-truck dropped on a rib cage. Their riffs are more massive still, deftly blending hardcore breakdowns with black metal shredding. They come to Cupertino touring their 2021 album The Path of Wrath along with melodic screamo act Frail Body and Memphis death metal outfit Knoll. These bands are in town with one mission: to crush audiences underneath the weight of Huge Tone in the pits this Sunday.
