Transgression was formed in early 1992 in Fredericksburg, Virginia with the intentions of writing and performing the old school thrash we grew up listening to. The german bands like Kreator, Destruction and Sodom and the US bands like Slayer and Metallica. Originally the band was a three piece with John Wood(bass/vocals) Danny Carter(Drums) and Ray Cole(guitars). Transgression wrote nine original songs and immediateley started playing shows in the Virginia area. Shortly after, the band decided its sound needed a bit more, and Buck Sutton(guitar) was added to the lineup. This brought on the guitar harmony lines to the music, resulting in a more complex, interesting sound with dark overtones. This was the Transgression sound.After increasing its set list, Transgression started back on the show circuit with a vengeance. Performing shows with Morbid Angel, Dissection, At The Gates, Kreator in addition to headlining their own shows all along the eastern seaboard with the climax, playing seven shows at the world famous, CBGBs in New York.In 1997, Transgression released "Dead Wisdoms." An eleven song disc that was soon picked up by Nuclear Blast Records for a developement deal as Transgression hit the road again to support the new disc.After a seven year hiatis, Transgression is presently writing new material for release in the winter of 2006.
