The World We Knew: Version 2010

This past Sunday we experienced another furious show put together by 2 Legit Bookings. 2 Legit Booking is a New York City based booking company, started by John Effin Wiley (Severed & The World We Knew) and his partner in crime Dee. 2 Legit has quickly become a reputable and honest booking company, which is why Horns Up Rocks has jumped on board with 2 Legit, and together have helped to give rebirth to the New York City Heavy Music underground scene. Ok, enough props. We are here to tell you about the brutal assault known as The World We Knew.

The World We Knew came to surface in 2004 when singer Frank Fanelli decided it was time to stop compromising his talent, and to start playing some brutal music. After many years of hard work, in 2007 they released their debut album titled "Exortium". A few years later and after a few lineup changes, they released "To The Wolves". This is the album that caught the attention of Stillborn Records, the label owned and operated by Jamey Jasta of Hatebreed. Once Stillborn Records took them under their wing, it was time for the band to get busy on the road. After they got signed by Stillborn Records, one of the big tours they were part of was Stillborn Fest 2009. From there on, things got pretty hectic for the band and once their touring cycle ended, it was time for some restructuring.

After a few months of trial and error, singer Frank Fanelli and guitarist Tim Howley, found the links they were missing in order to re-create their chain of punishing brutality. In a very wise move, the band brought in Severed's backbone: guitarist Justin Whang, bassist John Effin Wiley, and drummer Jorge Sosa. Judging from their performance this past Sunday at Club Europa, the band's upcoming tour in December, which will conclude with another run with Stillborn Fest (featuring Hatebreed), will be a vulgar display of power! Don't believe us? Check out this exclusive video which includes live footage of The World We knew, and an interview with singer Frank Fanelli! \m/
