Worwyk

Worwyk plays authentic heavy metal combining melodic, semi-technical riffs with scorching solos and aggressive vocals. The band is strictly a studio project, fronted by Tom Vitacco, a musician based in the suburbs of Chicago. After playing in a couple of local Chicago metal bands, Tom found he enjoyed the recording aspect more than trying to keep a band together, so he built a small home studio to record his music. Tom writes all the music for Worwyk, and handles all the mixing, mastering and production for the band. Since the band is a studio project only, Worwyk does not play live.

In 2006, Worwyk began searching for a metal vocalist whose voice would fit the new tracks being written - someone with an aggressive, modern voice that was clean enough to be understood while rough enough to blend in perfectly with Tom's riffs. While online, Tom came across the band Dragonlips, which was also a one-man project band fronted by Mike O'Hara and based in Pennsylvania. Tom really liked the tunes and thought Mike's voice was exactly what he was looking for, so he contacted him to see if he would be interested in collaborating on the disc. Mike agreed to sing on the new disc and the collaboration turned out excellent.

The new Worwyk disc, entitled In Solitude, features eight tracks of modern metal with an old-school vibe, perfectly complemented by Mike's aggressive yet comprehensible vocals. This is true metal to the core - great vocals, heavy guitars, thundering drums, growling bass and blistering solos with just a hint of keys for ambience. Lyrics that deal with modern issues - religion, suicide and human emotion. For fans of Megadeth, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Death, Slayer, Iced Earth, Kreator...or really anyone into METAL!!!
