Artist History Formed in late 2002, Beltfed is a band on a mission. That mission is to provide brutally heavy nu-metal that is of substantial quality, and accessible whilst still retaining the awesome aggressiveness that the band’s members love. Music that is accessible, yet challenging, brutal, yet melodic, and that pays homage to our sources of inspiration, yet is incredibly original and unique. The coming together of Beltfed was a coming together of two jamming partnerships forming into one solid band. In the early part of summer 2002, Gabe Gomez answered an ad posted by Arnold Hablewitz stating that he was looking for a bassist and drummer. While Gabe was neither, he thought that maybe Arnold could use a singer even though he wasn’t on the look-out for one just yet. Fearing another typical “I’ll-say-that-I-sing-so-that-I-can-be-in-a-band”-type of situation, Arnold was reluctant but agreed to audition Gabe if nothing else but to humor him. The two hit it off really well over a mutual love of listening to more underground types of metal and playing more groove-influenced styles in their own projects. After constantly searching for members and writing raw and somewhat primitive first versions of several tunes, the band hooked up with Nik “Weez” Wenzel and Dan Eaton when Nick began working at Arnold’s place of employment. After sharing their thoughts on trying to find/form another band in the area, they both decided to jam together to combine the two creative forces. Since then Beltfed diligently rehearse with an eye towards recording a promo disc and playing out shortly thereafter. As of March of 2003, the band is still seeking a permanent and dedicated drummer.
