Deriving its name from the result of life gone astray, The Negative Effect was W.H.'s first full-length release. Recorded with B. Lonestar on guitars and vocals along side the musical talent of friends and studio musicians. The CD hit the streets; a live band was assembled, and followed with gigs in support of the "do it your-self" album. A loyal fan following and buzz grows as W.H. begins to re-write what metal should be.
In its basic form W.H. was a one-man gang musical outlet, but with the addition of Jerry Skii on lead vocals, 2008 and beyond will prove to be W.H.’s time. Currently, the live band is in rehearsal to finish recording and back the upcoming CD, 'Rare Moments Of Hope'.
There will be ten songs on the ‘Rare Moments Of Hope’ album. Recording is being done at Winterland Studios in Minneapolis, Mn. Shootin for a 09 release date. Regional live dates, a national winter tour and promotional campaign are in the works.
The ten well-crafted songs, in comparison to the older material, are more raw, straightforward structures, with no fucking around. Jerry’s lyric writing and natural talent as a front-man combined with first-class songwriting and musicianship sets this band apart from the metal pack.
Wretched Hive’s music is like getting the life choked out of you but still being able to catch that one last breath over and over. 'Rare Moments Of Hope' is going to give listeners all the more reason to clench their fist and scream “Fuck Yeah!
