Hatrix

Hatrix was an Ohio-based band that formed around 1989 or so, following the departure of vocalist Jeff Hatrix from Purgatory. On collisioncoursewithnoplace the band mixes Pantera influences (both vocally and in the guitarwork) with a more traditional power/thrash metal base. The band had a strong local following but for whatever reason never broke into the mainstream. Hatrix (the man) and a few others from the group later made a name for themselves in Mushroomhead (in fact, the debut Mushroomhead show was in 1995, immediately following a Hatrix show). As Mushroomhead flourished, Hatrix the band faded away, though even as late as 2005 the original five members played some reunion shows.
