Biography

Wanderer is a Minneapolis based quartet formed as a quintet in the winter of 2013. Drawing influence first from the likes of The Chariot and Norma Jean, and more recently from Converge, Trap Them, and Baptists they create a maelstrom of heavy, agile, and uncompromising metal/hardcore hybrid. Having toured the US in support of their previous 4 releases including 2016's “Gloom Daze” released by Tilde Records, as well as having opened for bands such as The Body, Birds In Row, Yautja, and Power Trip, they released 5 new songs in the form of an EP, "Abandoned". After more touring throughout the US and playing with bands like Vein, Full of Hell, Portrayal of Guilt, Harvest, and a Midwest run with Closet Witch, they entered the studio in August of 2019 to record their debut full length album with new vocalist Dan Lee. Despite the pause on live music and in the spring of 2020, the album "Liberation From A Brutalist Existence" was released on vinyl, cassette, and digital in June 2021. Steady gigging began in support of the album in soon after and included regional tours with Malevich, Pains, and Frail Body. They entered the studio with Adam Tucker once again in July 2022 and a new EP entitled "Indulgence of the Unreal", featuring 5 of their most aggressive, experimental, and most eclectic songs to date, was released February 24th 2023.
