Introducing 18 Wheels of Justice, a crushing thrash metal band from the hotbed music scene of Boston, Massachusetts. Their sound is a new brand of raw thrashcore, yet the influence of early metal and thrash can be clearly heard. 18 Wheels has just completed their debut full-length album, entitled 'Deceive Them All', available July '07. The album was recorded, mixed, and produced entirely by the band, and is being released and distributed by the independent label Elephantine Records.

Founding members Todd Harris (guitar) and Conor Anastasia (bass) started 18 Wheels of Justice as a side project in early 2002. Realizing the huge potential of their music, the project quickly became their primary focus. The band was in a state of flux from '02 to '04, as the search for the perfect lineup continued. The additions of vocalist Steve Justice, guitarist Steve Abajoli, and drummer Sam Pothier completed the punishing sound.

The group has played extensively throughout the New England region, developing a strong following. In early '05, they recorded a self-titled EP at The Armory Studios (owned by Harris), which got airplay on several local radio stations (107.3WAAF, 104.1 WBCN). The sound was described as "powerful and elemental" (The Noise), and greatly increased the band's exposure.
Throughout '06, the band maintained a rigorous schedule, both on stage and in the studio. The resulting debut album, 'Deceive Them All', captures the fierce, determined sound that is 18 Wheels of Justice.

2007 has seen the band play numerous Metal festivals, including BRUTALFEST(Worcester MA), THE HAMMERBALL (Naragansett RI), and a series of shows in the EMERGENZA BATTLE OF THE BANDS, where the band made it to round 3 of the competiton, and were labeled as the best Metal band in the Battle.
