Wakrat

CA, US · 2015–present · active
Wakrat is a Los Angeles trio formed in 2015 by Tim Commerford, bassist of Rage Against the Machine, alongside French guitarist Laurent Grangeon and Swiss drummer Mathias Wakrat, whose surname provided the band's name. The band plays aggressive, politically charged punk and alternative metal with clear DNA from Commerford's previous work, and released their self-titled debut album in 2016 after debuting live at the Viper Room in September 2015.

Winter Reign

Los Angeles, CA, US · 2018–present · active
Los Angeles's Winter Reign have been evolving since 2018, moving from gothic metal's dark, orchestral drama toward progressive metal and alternative textures — a trajectory that shows a band more interested in growth than in genre allegiance. The LA environment, with its production resources and scene diversity, has clearly given them room to stretch across stylistic lines.

Wovenwar

CA, US · 2013–present · active
Wovenwar formed in Southern California in 2013 as a direct consequence of the arrest of As I Lay Dying vocalist Tim Lambesis for soliciting the murder of his wife, with four of that band's remaining members — guitarists Nick Hipa and Phil Sgrosso, bassist Josh Gilbert, and drummer Jordan Mancino — joining Oh, Sleeper vocalist Shane Blay. The group's self-titled debut (2014, Metal Blade) and follow-up Honor Is Dead (2016) pursued melodic heavy metal and alternative metalcore territory, finding a substantial audience before the original members returned to As I Lay Dying in 2018.
