WAR PRAYER is a passionate catharsis demonstrating thanks for freedoms we are blessed withBand/artist history
Vocalist /lyricist, Bill Angst grew up in Buffalo, NY. He has a tattoo of the name of his early band RULE! on his head & 8 emotions in the figure of an 8 / infinity on his arm. His motive? "The music is always on my mind & I wear my emotions on my sleeve". TOOL, C.O.C. & OVERKILL are some of his favorites RULE! shared the stage with. Most recently, Angst played with psychodelic metal band DEFINE DIVINE in Sarasota, Fl. Angst relocated to Cali to raise his first child in 2006.
Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, guitarist turned drummer
Jonathan Wilson has always had a passion for listening & playing music.
That developed into an interest in recording and he attended classes at
Los Medanos College. Feeling the need to play an aggressive style of
music, Jonathan jumped on Craigslist and met Buffalo Bill through an ad
looking for musicians that want to "celebrate life through music".
After several attempts to recognize the willing & able, they returned to Craigslist and found Jonathan's former hockey team mate, guitarist, Beau Grant. As a youngster, Beau had been introduced to Metal by friend and current Bass player Dave Robbins. After this, he became engulfed in music & roadied for Atlantic recording artists, VICIOUS RUMORS. Touring experiences fueled the fire in his heart for his love and appreciation of live music. After years of getting together with friends for the love of music, he adjoined the current lineup of War Prayer. After recognizing how well Jonathan & Bill complimented his guitar style, he knew "Big" Dave was the missing link.
Dave Robbins grew up in Tracy, CA. He began his musical career playing piano at the age of 8. He joined his 1st band as a bassist at 11. During the course of his bass playing career, Dave played w/ Bay Area original metal band SNYPER who received favorable international reviews. He also auditioned for METALLICA & OZZY's touring band. Some of the more memorable acts he's shared the stage w/ include PRIMUS, WENDY O. WILLIAMS & MAN O' WAR. A few years back, Dave was involved in a serious/near-death auto accident in which he lost the use of his right arm. He tried playing bass w/ his penis for a while. That wasn't received as well as one might hope. After months of intense rehabilitation, he regained full use of his arm. In the music of WAR PRAYER, his playing is as strong as ever.
All 4 members recognize musical influences dating back from the British Metal Invasion as well as the Bay Area thrash scene.Have you performed in front of an audience?We will play anywhere!
