CWS formed in 2004, in Smithtown NY Long Island. High school band turned into a metal machine for all who love a mixture of all types of metal.

Here's an old Interview from 2005:
Our goal with our music is appeasment of all genres within our likings, while enjoying it. We have ranges from melodic metalcore, to thrash, to death metal, to experimental hardcore.

Band/artist history
Started in 1998 by Mike and Greg, CWS has gone through many shapes and forms of musical influences and writing habits. Kevin joined as our rhythm guitarist in October of 2001 and has stationed himself as lead guitarist once we did a little guitarical genocide. The short man with the curly afro known as Claudio joined the band in February of 2003 as Lead Singer, and later proved himself as rhythm guitarist and now rhythm and lead guitarist. With this line up, CWS has played many a successful show with high comments and enjoyment by all. CWS is one of the true straight ahead metal bands of our area and what we lack in notoriety, we make up with satisfying our areas need for some metal. we write music as much as possible and we're trying to keep fans of all genres satified. we have songs with thrash metal parts, also we have straight up harder rock songs and somewat progessive metal songs. we like to consider ourselves straight up metal Our music ranges from many areas of the heavy persuasion due our wide variety of musical influences. from straight up metal to our progressive tendencies, from grooves to thrash, CWS is constantly expanding their sound.
