Wrathchild America

This band has gone through a host a names since its inception in 1978, first going by Atlantis, then Tyrant, then finally hitting their stride as Wrathchild, winning a major label contract in 1988. But the British glam band Wrathchild threatened legal action, and so the band debuted in 1989 as Wrathchild America. They played a brand of accessible thrash that, although released on a major label, never really got a lot of attention, as by that time thrash acts that were flooding the scene. After two albums, the band changed name to (or broke up and reformed as) Souls At Zero, and continued for a time in that incarnation before disbanding. Guitarist Jay Abbene was later seen in Crowbar for awhile (but never recorded, and didn't stay long), and drummer Shannon Larkin joined Ugly Kid Joe and later hooked up with Amen.
