“Will is nothing but the achievement of someone’s idea...this is the meaning of will...”.

Maybe those were the words that crossed Peter Elia and Simone Di Pietro’s minds in an unidentified moment between spring and fall of 2002, when they finally decided to start a musical project in which they could express their potentials...not being only a common and anonymous cover band!
Guitar-player VS Guitar-player...two different ways of interpreting musical tastes seemingly very distant from one another: Peter was, and still is, animated by the passion for healthy hard rock and power progressive metal, apparently very difficult to converge towards Simone’s love for trash & death metal tradition.

Good intentions, plenty of ideas...

The main problem was finding the right fellow-travellers in this fabulous, exciting and difficult research of pure creative and expressive potentials.
So the adventure began. They started asking advice to their close friends, passing through the well known advertisements in music instruments’ shops. But the positive reactions did not arrive until...

...through common friends, Peter met Marco Mazzetti...

Trash & melodic death guitar player, Marco immediately distinguished himself from Simone in the riffs’ creative and executive moment...two different guitar philosophies that perfectly intertwine in MW compositions, with Marco almost exclusively concentrated on the rhythmical side and Simone involved in the creation of sharp solo lines.

On that precise moment, Peter decided to concentrate himself on his voice potentials leaving to his friends the chance to challenge one another with their own “axes”.

Drums became Francesco’s (Marco’s younger brother) “private property”. He immediately accepted the challenge of the newly-born musical project with his own complex and affected approach to the instrument. It is not a mere chance if one of his favourite drummers is the sensational ex ‘Death’ Richard Christy!

The project was almost ready, except for the lack of Francesco’s mate in the rhythmical section: the bass player.
Finding the last mosaic dowel was the harder thing to do: many castings and all of them not satisfying.
The boys began to curse their destiny...but finally they had their reward with name and surname: Michele Baccinelli.

A friend of Marco, Michele immediately persuaded them: a very bizarre fellow and bass player with many musical influences, he took a new flash of genius in MW’s world. A world always ready to accept new ideas and inspirations and...very much adrenalin too!

Their first covers show some of the influences of this group of five: Control Denied ‘Consumed’ satisfies Francesco’s Richard Christy hunger while Iron Maiden ‘Wasting Love’ & ‘Phantom of the Opera’, Metallica ‘Creeping Death’, Testament ‘Legacy’ and Slayer ‘South of Heaven’ come from the various background of the other four members, with a clear common trash root.
Then came ‘NIB’ (Black Sabbath), ‘Fade to Black (Metallica), ‘Burnt Offerings’ (Testament), ‘Raining Blood’ (Slayer), ‘Cemetery Gates (Pantera) and ‘Once solemn’ (Paradise Lost)...pieces that MW still love to play on live sessions!

Meanwhile first demo’s songs were ready in their guiding lines and then re-arranged to obtain the final product.
The debut EP entitled “Prepare to Pain” was finished by October 2003.
The entire work was recorded at Mazzetti brothers’ home, thanks to the extremely important support of Gianluca Maccarone and enriched by Stefano Di Noi cover-record.

The huge musical background of the group push MW to put close attention in the compositions that, from the first rehearsal to the last second before the recording, are continuously modified, leaving the members ample room to express themselves.

Frequent changes of time, style and feeling, vocal lines with growl & clean interlacing, are all peculiar features of their songs.
For this reason it is difficult to classify MW in a certain musical genre... perhaps unique.
