Wovenwar formed in 2013 when veteran metal musicians teamed up to create a new project that honors their heavy roots while exploring melodic sensibilities. The lineup features Nick Hipa (guitar), Phil Sgrosso (guitar), Jordan Mancino (drums), and Josh Gilbert (bass/vocals) from As I Lay Dying, joined by Shane Blay (vocals) formerly of Oh, Sleeper. The band quickly established its identity with bold guitars, harmonized hooks, and aggressive rhythm sections that appealed to both longtime metal fans and new listeners.
Despite lineup changes over the years, Wovenwar’s music remains a testament to collaboration and resilience within the metal community. For fans and newcomers, the project represents an important chapter in 2010s metalcore, with a focus on catchy melodies paired with heavy, driving grooves.
Wovenwar’s discography highlights include their debut album Wovenwar (2014) on Metal Blade Records, which reached the US Billboard 200 at #36, led by singles such as All Rise and The Mason. Their sophomore effort, Honor Is Dead (2016), peaked at #68 on the same chart. After 2018, the band has remained largely inactive, with no official touring announcements for 2025. Fans can follow official channels for the latest updates and reconnect with the band’s music through streaming platforms and social media.
