History

Zach grew up in Westridge, Colorado. He always wanted to be a musician. When he was 12, he starting taking singing and guitar lessons every week at Benny's Music Store. A year into his lessons, Zach wanted to start a solo acoustic gig, playing at local venues. He observed some shows, and discovered that nobody in Westridge played acoustic music. Everyone in Westridge fucking loved heavy fucking Metal.
Zach fell in love with the music. He was entranced by the heavy riffs, the slamming drums, the powerful vocals (especially the screams).
Since that night, Zach has been practicing, working on his "metal voice". He sucked for a while, and nobody liked his screams. But, at 15, Zach had a feel for the art. He became a powerful metal vocalist, and he wanted to start a band. He attended Getty Jones High, a school full of musicians.
He found his band members here, and they've been together for 5 years now.
Line-ups have changed, but now, the band is the hottest gig around Westridge. Zach wants nothing more than to play for thousands of screaming fans, calling out to his band as if they were gods: "Retribution! Retribution! RETRIBUTION!"
