Biography

Formed in 2010, Without Waves began writing music with an open ended approach to songwriting. "The music is about balance," says Lead Singer/Guitarist Anthony Cwan. "We've made a concerted effort to allow more vulnerability in the songwriting process, more of a "bring anything to the table" approach." That same attitude has helped the band create a wildly varied sound with a foundation in heavy metal. After six years, that credo rings true as the band prepares to release their first major label full length with Prosthetic Records. Self-produced at Bricktop Recording with Pete Grossman overseeing and mixed by Sanford Parker (Voivod, Eyehategod), he album is difficult to categorize. The music ranges from extreme metal to jazz fusion to atmospheric rock, showcasing blistering riffs and unorthodox time signatures paired alongside dreamy melodies and poetic chord structures.  Their diverse sound has given Without Waves a chance to share the stage with an equally diverse selection of bands: The Black Dahlia Murder, Scale the Summit, Anneke Van Giersbergen, Vattnet Viskar and Leprous just to name a few. Though a relatively new band, the members themselves had been playing together in one form or another for over a decade prior to Without Waves. Their unique bond contributes to the diversity of the songs and their performance. Their live show is energetic, tight and, at times, free flowing, which only comes when players are 100% confident and respectful of each other.
