  • On Broken Wings is an American metalcore band from Boston, Massachusetts that formed in 2001. Often credited with pioneering the sound, and coining the term, of Moshcore, a term originally used by the band to describe their fusion of metal with elements of post-hardcore and hardcore breakdowns. A sound evident in current bands such as Emmure and Recon. After the self-released Number One Beautiful EP, they caught the attention of Eulogy Recordings, where they would then release 2 full length albums over the next 5 years, 2003's 'Some of us may Never see the World' and 2005's 'It's all a Long Goodbye'. During this time, On Broken Wings was also subject to a variety of controversies, mostly concerning their unusually violent live shows and the band's apparent encouragement of crowd violence. As a result, the band is still banned from many clubs and venues across the United States. In early 2007, On Broken Wings released an EP entitled Going Down which contained the original Number One Beautiful EP as well as 4 new songs. In an ironic twist, the title of the EP was soon considered foreshadowing as the band announced an indefinite hiatus mainly due to interest in other projects. Many considered OBW to have split up for good until a new year rolled around... After a long hiatus, 2008 finally sees the band reuniting and doing some serious touring with the 'Mosh Lives' tour featuring headliners, Emmure and other metalcore acts such as Recon, Ligeia and on select dates, Red I Flight and Endwell. (for more information on the reuniting of OBW, read below)
  • On Broken Wings ist eine US-amerikanische Band, die 2001 in Boston, Massachusetts gegründet wurde und dem Metalcore zugerechnet wird, es lassen sich jedoch auch Einflüsse des Grindcore und Hardcore ausmachen. Charakteristisch für die Band sind die harten, teils extrem langsam gespielten Breakdowns, tiefes Growlen und schnelle, chaotisch anmutende Parts.
  • Gli On Broken Wings sono una band statunitense metalcore di Boston nata nel 2001, spesso accreditati di un sound pioneristico, coniato con il termine di Moshcore, genere dal quale deriva il mosh, ballo simile al pogo in cui si forma un cerchio (Circle Pit, Mosh Pit) in cui la gente balla facendo uso di calci e pugni. Il termine Moshcore è stato usato dalle bands per descrivere la fusione del genere metal con elementi post-hardcore e i suoi tipici breakdown. Caratteristica principale della band è la versatilità del cantante Jonathan Blake, capace di passare dal growl al canto pulito.
