Hailing from the shores of the Great South Bay in Long Island, New York, THE WORLD WE KNEW, is a five piece straight edge metal outfit dedicated to bringing new and exciting material to a stagnant genre of music. Originally formed in September 2004 by vocalist and TWWK's only original member, Frank Fanelli, the band has gone through several line up changes.
Within less than a year, the band has booked three DIY tours along the East coast, played countless weekends and local shows, self recorded/produced/released and sold out of a 7 song EP, slept in many basements, broken down many, MANY, times (ditching 2 vans along the way). In January of 2007, The World We Knew headed into Full Force Studios (Suffocation, Internal Bleeding, Dying Fetus, Criminal Element) in Port Jefferson, NY with Engineers Dan Kenny and Joe Cincotta and spent the month recording their full length record, slated for release in early summer of 2007.
In the early spring of 2007, with the newly solidified line up, the band inked a deal with North Carolina-based record label Seventh Dagger Records. The band tries to breathe a breath of fresh air into todays metal and hardcore music with their intense live performances and fast paced songwriting approach.
Over the last three years, TWWK has been able to share the stage with a ton of major acts on events such as Warped Tour, and The Show of the Summer (NJ). As well as playing with Through The Eyes Of The Dead, Dead To Fall, Darkest Hour, Bleeding Through, Despised Icon, Full Blown Chaos, Caliban, The Sleeping, A Life Once Lost, Haste The Day, Necrophagist, Remembering Never, The Acacia Strain, The Warriors, Animosity, Sworn Enemy, Cephalic Carnage, Embrace Today, A Love For Enemies, Endwell, This Is Hell, A Love Ends Suicide, plus many, many more! This is only the beginning for The World We Knew, and they plan on getting themselves to the top in due time. No one will stand in their way!
