Angkor Wat (band)
Angkor Wat is an American thrash metal band from Corpus Christi, Texas. Named after the Hindu-then-Buddhist temple complex, they were forerunners of the hardcore punk scene that emerged from Corpus Christi in the mid-eighties. History Angkor Wat was formed in 1986 by Adam Grossman, Danny Lohner, Dave Brinkman and Mike Trevino. Dave Nuss and Mike Titsworth joined the band in 1986 and 1987, respectively, following Trevino's departure. The band's energetic live performances along with their unique blend of thrash metal and hardcore punk landed a deal with Death Records, a subsidiary of Metal Blade Records, under which they released two albums. A third album was recorded under the name Angkor Wat, but due to the stylistic difference from the band's previous work Lohner opted to release it as Skrew's debut. On June 1, 2018, the band played a reunion show at the House of Rock in Corpus Christi. The following day, they were honored with a star on the South Texas Music Walk of Fame i ...
