Band Website: This is the only official W.E. online venue.
Band Members: Matt Zelinsky - All guitars, bass, drum machines and percussion, voices of hell's lust, channeling of negative energies into power and light, medium thru which past greats are still able to play as unto living men...
I am a controlling, narcissistic prick that does not play well with others. Somewhat fanatical in my convictions and uncompromising in my vision! I insisted on being a one man show, handling everything from composition to recording, production and distro... And the quality of my project and promotion often suffered as a result! But its all good - The level it could have and should have been taken to was never the aspiration or purpose of this project! Its all about the deep, dark crevices of the underground! My spirit swells with infernal pride. I am satisfied. And when "Dusk" descends.... The circle will be complete and my musickal journey fulfilled! Then I shall be freed from my own demons, available to contribute to greater projects and pursue more progressive/regressive endeavors in both music and life.
Influences: Primarily old thrash, classic heavy metal and punk/thrash crossover like Mercyful Fate, King Diamond, Slayer, Testament, Iron Maiden, Nuclear Assault, Judas Priest, D.R.I., etc.. Also, the original wave of Floridian and Swedish death metal.The album that had the single deepest impact on me as a kid (and made me wanna pick up the guitar) was King Diamond's "Them". The album that impacted me most as an early teen was Morbid Angel's "Blessed Are the Sick". Another big influence in the early days was slow, heavy Doom (i.e. Candlemass, Tiamat, November's Doom).Illinoize brutal death grind, underground scumfuk rock, drunk punk, and European black metal dominated my ears for most of my twenties. The Old Man's Child album "Born of the Flickering" was a profound moment for me too. But at the end of the day, beyond the exciting release of insane blast beats and through the haze of dark attraction to the corpsepaint glamour, I would usually wind up with those same old classics by Mercyful Fate, Slayer, Bathory, Pestilence and the like in my stereo!Other musical influences are many and varied... Ranging from classic & progressive rock, classical, rap (yes, I said it), psychedelic, blues, a little country, too much shit to list here. If forced to choose a favorite album of all time, I would be heartbroken. It would probably be a tie between ....And Justice For All and Mercyful Fate's Dead Again. Am also a huge fan of Alice in Chains and Pink Floyd.
Sounds Like: Called psychedelic in the earlier works. Called black metal by some, melodic death metal by others. And shit by many, hahaha! It is what it is and stands alone to this day to defy trend, genre, classification and to proclaim a steel clawed fist in the retentive rectum of society! ...A near death experience.... Hell tearing through your speakers.... Your hardest orgasm coupled with your deepest fears.... A bad LSD experience.... Annihilation of all set boundaries, doctrines, dogma, fabric of time & space, and preconceived notions of sheep as to what "true" metal "should" or "should not" be. Hell, I don't know - I'm no longer in the reviews department, so you tell me... Not that I value your opinion, but I would certainly encourage you to speak it freely. Cause that's what its all about, freedom... from both within and without, a word lost on the deaf ears of the invasive homosapien pest...........True misanthropy, before it became a black lipstick and nail polish strawberry flavored trend here in the midwest!...........Rotting death, as it has been dead since late 2005! Help honor this unholy spirit and support this page! (....Ressurrection in 2009?!?...)
