Band members
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!

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!
