GUST OF ANGER was formed in 1997 from a reunion of remains of various Latvian Heavy Metal bands such as HUSQUARN, MORAL FREE and MORTMAIN. Initially the band was called ULTRA, and recorded a demo, which mainly enjoyed distribution throughout Russia and the Baltic states. On advise of the record producer the band soon after also decided to change names, and adopted the more appropriate moniker GUST OF ANGER.
GUST OF ANGER are immensely popular in the Baltic region, having performed at concerts and festivals with the likes of ZZ TOP, STATUS QUO, SCORPIONS, CANNIBAL CORPSE, OVERKILL, ANNIHALATOR and PRO-PAIN.

Word of mouth spread to the Scandinavian region, and the infamous DANIEL BERGSTRAND, renown for his work with – among others - STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, MESHUGAH and STUCK MOJO, agreed to produce their debut album: NATURAL HOSTILITY at his DUG-OUT studios in Sweden. Drummer PER JOHANNSON, of CRAWLEY, LOST SOULS and IN RAGE also contributed to the recordings.

GUST OF ANGER play aggressive hardcore-ish metal with socially engaged lyrics, attacking the injustice and hypocrisy of our modern society.

Recently GUST OF ANGER have been confirming their status as a relentlessly energetic live band, playing a lot in MOSCOW, in clubs like the R-CLUB and TOCHKA, often alongside Local Russian acts such as HOSTILE BREED. We hope that with the release of NATURAL HOSITLITY the band will soon be romping on concert stages across Western Europe also.
