Souls at Zero (band)

Souls At Zero was an American groove metal band. They were originally known as Wrathchild America. The name change occurred after Wrathchild America was dropped from Atlantic Records in 1993, and was accompanied by a slight change in musical style. Souls At Zero released three albums on Energy Rekords before disbanding in the mid-1990s.

Name origin

The name "Souls at Zero" was taken from a chapter in the book The Great and Secret Show by horror writer Clive Barker. The name was originally intended for Shannon's and John "Tumor" Fahnestock's side project MF Pitbulls which also included 3/5 of the future band Snot.

History

With the onset of grunge in the early 1990s, mainstream interest in 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 fill the drum seat in Ugly Kid Joe. He currently plays in Godsmack. Jamie Miller replaced Larkin. He played on A Taste For The Perverse. He left to join Snot. He currently plays in TheSTART,... And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead and Normandie. After touring in support of A Taste for the Perverse, the band broke up shortly thereafter.
