Success Will Write Apocalypse Across The Sky

about

Success Will Write Apocalypse Across The Sky: Biography Origin and Formation Success Will Write Apocalypse Across The Sky (often abbreviated as SWWAATS) is an American extreme metal band formed in Tampa, Florida in 2006. The group was founded by guitarists Aaron Haines and Ian Sturgill following the breakup of their previous band, Bodies in the Gears of the Apparatus. The band’s unusual, lengthy name was inspired by a 1989 text titled “Apocalypse” by author William S. Burroughs. As Sturgill explained in an interview, the name was also fueled by “a healthy amount of paranoia,” reflecting the band’s provocative and dystopian vision. Early on, SWWAATS established a gritty death metal/grindcore style marked by socio-political lyrical themes and an unapologetically confrontational attitude toward humanity’s flaws. Vocalist John Collett joined in 2007, completing the initial lineup alongside Haines and Sturgill on guitars, Mike Petrak on drums, and Chris Woodall on bass. Together they began crafting brief but intense songs that channeled nihilism and anger, quickly making a name in the Florida underground scene. Discography SWWAATS’s first release was the Subhuman Empire EP in July 2007 on Debello Recordings. The EP contains six tracks and runs just under 13 minutes, delivering a relentless blend of death metal and grindcore with politically charged lyrics. Despite its short length, Subhuman Empire earned praise in the extreme metal community – one metal outlet even haile
