Angkor Wat

Formed in 1986, Angkor Wat was an integral part of the hardcore punk DIY scene that took root throughout South Texas in the mid to late 80s. During this time period, Angkor Wat played shows with legendary bands such as GBH, Suicidal Tendencies, Devastation, The Accused, and Cryptic Slaughter.

Angkor Wat recorded their debut album When Obscenity Becomes the Norm… AWAKE! for Metal Blade/Death Records to critical acclaim around the globe in 1988.

In 1990 Angkor Wat released their second record entitled Corpus Christi, which blurred the lines between metal and industrial music. Soon after, the band ended its first chapter by disbanding, with its former members pursuing musical expression with many other bands, most notably Nine Inch Nails, Skrew, Ministry, Sabbath Assembly, Pasadena Napalm Division and many more.

With their induction into the South Texas Music Walk of Fame on June 2, 2018, Angkor Wat alumni have reformed to bring their unique style of aggressive music back to the stage.

Back in the day, Angkor Wat was banned from nearly every hall, lodge, ballroom, and warehouse they played due to the chaos that followed them wherever they went. It’s been 28 years since the band has performed live, and now they are back — leaner, meaner, and picking up right where they left off.
