Formed in 2013 by the instrumental section of metalcore giants <a href="spotify:artist:2vd2HnNh4pdYa9gDVHFjEu">As I Lay Dying</a> after that group's lead singer, Tim Lambesis, was sentenced to six years in prison for attempting to enlist a hit man to off his estranged wife, San Diego-based hard rock quintet Wovenwar feature the talents of <a href="spotify:artist:2vd2HnNh4pdYa9gDVHFjEu">AILD</a> alumni Nick Hipa (guitar), Phil Sgrosso (guitar), Josh Gilbert (bass), Jordan Mancino (drums), and <a href="spotify:artist:3HMsQNXUa0je3yG5REHkQ7">Oh, Sleeper</a> vocalist Shane Blay (lead vocals, guitar). Ditching the screamo vocals that dominated <a href="spotify:artist:2vd2HnNh4pdYa9gDVHFjEu">AILD</a> in favor of a cleaner approach that leans harder toward the melodic hard rock edge of the metalcore spectrum, Wovenwar released their first single, "All Rise," in April 2014, followed by their <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Metal+Blade%22">Metal Blade</a>-issued eponymous full-length debut in July of that year. After a prolonged period of intense touring, the band re-entered the studio -- three different ones in as many cities -- to commence work on their next <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Metal+Blade%22">Metal Blade</a> release. When the recording was finished, Sgrosso amicably parted company with his bandmates due to differences about touring. The group decided to carry on as a quartet, with Blay assuming the additional guitar duties. A video single, "Censorship," was released online in September of 2016. The full-length entitled, Honor Is Dead, followed in October. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
