IT BEGAN
The year 2000 brought along with it fears of the Y2K bug, impending international terror, and the formation of Shreveport, Louisiana-based technical death metal band Expletive. William Bolton (guitar) and Jason Strange (bass) disolved their first project Malevolent, and started fresh with dual vocalists and drumming phenom Ryan Pearson. They hit the NWLA heavy music scene pummeling crowds with new songs full of breakneck tempos and grooves heavier than the payload of an H-bomb. After losing their two frontmen and original drummer, Expletive found their identity as a power trio featuring the band’s current lineup with Anthony Tamaccio behind the kit. Reuniting after a decade hiatus, the three-piece has thunderously returned with their signature brand of extreme metal infused with elements of grindcore, metalcore, mathcore, and thrash.
