Wrathiera is an American Heavy Metal band from Hyden, Kentucky. Formed on Nov. 1, 2011 by vocalist/lead guitarist Kenny Griffith, after departure with his previous band Punish Inc. The name Wrathiera, was inspired by one of the seven deadly sins, known as Wrath. Wrathiera has associated with several musical acts, such as Faidas and Punish Inc.
In early 2011, demo Nuke Em All was released and featured two songs: Behind the Mask and Road Warrior. Mascot Max Hazardous, made his first appearance on the artwork, which shows Max glaring at a mushroom cloud that is seen in the background. Originally, Nuke Em All was meant to contain more tracks, such as WWIII, Radiation, and M.A.D, unfortunately audio recordings were lost.
Wrathiera began recording their debut album Full Metal Jacket in early 2012. The first track Behind the Mask was released as a single. The song references to Max Hazardous as a WWII soldier, combating in chemical warfare.
