Willem Dafrend is an emerging Metalcore outfit on the Saint Louis, Missouri, music scene. Their first full-length release, Nails, defines the band as unapologetic while bringing some levity to a genre that sometimes can take itself a little too serious. Nails was created out of feelings of boredom, silliness, depression, and happiness, all brought on by a pandemic that forced society to isolate and reflect. Themes of defeat, perseverance, fatherhood and rage flow throughout the record. Conceptually Nails follows a character's evolution from a visceral, bloodied street thug dealing with betrayal to fatherhood and the unjustified and inexplicable rage that sometimes comes with raising children, ending with reflections on bygone exploits.
While Willem Dafrend is a relatively new name, they are comprised of seasoned musicians who have all experienced varying degrees of success and accolades over the last two decades. With this new record, the band is taking their collective experience in a new direction and rekindling an energy and passion for music that never truly dies. Come along for the ride.
