Top 10 Best Bands from Pittsburgh, PA
Icarus Witch is a heavy metal band from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States, formed in 2003 by bassist Jason Myers. Not exactly well known, but they are a Heavy Metal band formed in 2002 that plays like a Traditional Metal band. They started an underground movement called "The New Wave of Traditional Metal", which to me, is like the NWOBHM Part 2. They have opened for big named bands such as Queensryche and former Iron Maiden singer Paul Di'Anno.
What's the epitome of the true Pittsburgh blue collar work ethic? Work hard, take pride in a job well done and forge onward despite adversity or trends. That's the spirt this band embodies and a testament to Icarus Witch's enduring legacy in the Steel City and beyond.
