Beltfed Weapon BIO

--

Founded in 1999 by guitarist and songwriter Frank Hetzel, Beltfed Weapon has become known for their distinctive blend of thrash, death, and technical metal in the Seattle metal scene. Following several lineup changes, Hetzel took control of the band’s future by collaborating with highly respected musicians in the metal world.

Their 2015 EP, Raining Plague, was well-received by critics. Metal Gods TV rated it 8/10, praising the “fast-paced riffs” and “shredding guitars”, while Ever Metal gave it 9/10, noting its successful blend of aggression and melody. The EP featured contributions from major figures in the metal scene, such as Jeff Loomis (Arch Enemy, ex-Nevermore) on lead guitar, and Steve DiGiorgio (Testament, Death) on bass. Loomis’s intricate solos were a key element, establishing a strong working relationship with Hetzel. After the success of Raining Plague, Hetzel continued working with top-tier musicians, including Steve Tucker (Morbid Angel), who lent his powerful growls to tracks on the Darkened Demise EP. Tucker’s performance added intensity and helped shape the band’s heavier sound direction.

In September 2024, Beltfed Weapon released their latest single, “Tortured Within”, featuring Stu Block (Into Eternity, ex-Iced Earth) on vocals, Kragen Lum (Heathen, Exodus) on lead guitar, Mike LePond (Symphony X) on bass, and Bryan Newbury (Into Eternity) on drums. This new track continues the band’s tradition of collaborating with notable musicians, building on the intensity and precision that have become the band’s trademarks.

“Tortured Within” focuses on internal battles, including addiction and the struggle to break free from destructive cycles, according to Hetzel. The single has received praise for its technical musicianship and powerful thematic content, with Hetzel expressing satisfaction with the contributions from Block and LePond, both of whom noted the unique challenge and reward of working with Hetzel’s aggressive riffs.

With each new release, including “Tortured Within”, Frank Hetzel remains dedicated to evolving Beltfed Weapon’s sound. His ongoing collaborations with respected figures in metal have cemented the band’s place as a powerful force in the genre.
