- Souls at Zero (band)
Souls at Zero was an American
thrash metal band.History
Name origin
They were originally known as
Wrathchild America . The name change occurred after Wrathchild America were dropped fromAtlantic Records in 1993, and was accompanied by a slight change in musical style. Souls at Zero released three albums onEnergy Records before disbanding in the mid-1990s. The name Souls at Zero was taken from a chapter in the book "The Great and Secret Show " by British horror authorClive Barker .Background
With the onset of grunge in the early 1990s, mainstream interest in
thrash metal was on the decline. Wrathchild America became a casualty of the grunge-era, being dropped from Atlantic Records. Changing their look and style, they became Souls at Zero.Shannon Larkin left the band in 1994 to joinUgly Kid Joe , currently playing inGodsmack . Jamie Miller replaced Larkin. He played on "A Taste for the Perverse". After touring in support of "A Taste for the Perverse", the band broke-up shortly thereafter.tyle
Whereas Wrathchild America were more of a straight-up thrash metal band, Souls at Zero had more of a
groove metal sound. Both incarnations of the band boasted proficient musicianship, and their live performances were extremely tight.Band members
