Imagine a LAN party where you show up, lug your computer in the door, hook up to the network with your friends, and start up your favorite classic PC games. Suddenly, you are transported to mind-scarringly realistic world where Soviet missiles scream by, Stroggs rip your friends apart at the seams, UFOs are shot down by high-speed jet fighters, and ghost pirates laugh at your demise. All accompanied by the most metal version of these soundtracks you have ever heard.

Formed in early 2013, WASD is inspired by progressive metal and a love of computer games and their music. Their debut full-length album, Shift, is available now in physical and digital formats.
