Daniel Lucas

Lead Vocals and Guitarist

​Thrasherwolf's frontman and first original member Daniel Lucas was born in 1995 in South London and created Thrasherwolf out of his pure love for old school thrash metal. He first picked up a guitar when he was 16 and after finding songwriting to be one of his favourite pastimes wanted the songs to be put to good use and so through many months of searching found members willing to help him put the band together and bring the songs to life. Seeking to grow the pack far and wide he will never stop thrashing until he drops!

Trivia:

1: His Favourite bands are some of his main influences and they include Kreator, Metallica and Lazarus AD among many others.

2: His favourite guitar (ESP LTD V300) has been with him since he bought it all the way back in 2013 and still plays his trusty war horse to this day.

Jack Saunders

Guitarist

Joining the band in 2017, Jack and Dan quickly became brothers in arms with the shared dream of pushing Thrasherwolf to it limits and beyond. Playing guitar since he was 17, Jack quickly fell in love with the idea of playing and performing music, an idea which grew along with Thrasherwolf as their performances became bigger and better. A passion Jack has as well as music is for engineering with a job of putting satellites in space! Jack is also responsible for all things 3D printing in the Thrasherwolf merch department!

Trivia:

1: Aside from the band, Jack has a Frist class masters degree in Aerospace engineering & space technology.

2: His favourite guitar to play live is his Chapman ML2 Pro.

Zaq Razaq

Drummer

Thrasherwolf's neck breaking drummer and most recent member was born in the golden years of thrash back in 1985 in Perivale, London and first picked up his sticks when he was just 13 years old. Since then through his pure love for the genre and all things heavy and metal he has tirelessly honed his craft to become an unstoppable force, a force felt evidently by the band when he showed that he was the only true choice for the job. He was throned in Thrasherwolf's drum seat in 2022 and continues to create deadly beats at every chance he gets thanks to the chemistry he feels with his bandmates and the brutalising riffs!

Trivia:

1: Zaq is a keen entrepreneur and owns many different businesses.

2: Zaq is also a very big fan of snooker and F1! His favourites of the two being Ronnie O'Sullivan and Michael Schumacher.

Raimond Dobelis

Bassist

Thrasherwolf's four string slayer and second most recent member was born within the golden years of all things thrash in 1982 in his home town in Latvia but moved to London in 2010. He first picked up a bass guitar at 15 years old and has since amassed a wealth of bass knowledge and talent that has led to him being the perfect choice for Thrasherwolf's low end section joining in 2022. Listening to metal at an early age; he fought back against the propaganda that was rife at the time in his country that told him that metal was a pathway to hell and he found his own path, thrashing his tits off with the pack and Thrasherwolf.

Trivia:

1: His equipment list includes a Fender precision bass, Darkglass and EBS pedals, DR drop-down strings, Richter straps and Hartke amps!

2: He is an avid collector of quality metal vinyls and can often be found at the nearest record store before any gig!
