Milwaukee Metal Fest

H1Z1 is a Milwaukee-based nu-metal band with a wide range of influences, incorporating early 2000's nu-metal, thrash, groove, and rap to create an exciting, high energy sound that is a creation all their own. H1Z1 is: Marq Pointer on lead vocals, Patrick Gunderson playing guitar, Jake Fromkin on drums, and Leaf Wruk on bass.
H1Z1 formed in 2010 and has seen a handful of lineup changes since their formation. The band was formed by Patrick Gunderson and former drummer, Juan, and evolved into a proper band writing original music, borrowing from their mutual influences, and soon beginning to forge their own sound as Marq, Leaf, and Jake joined the band.



H1Z1 has stayed busy and made a reputation for themselves built on the energy of their live performances, gracing the stage at well known venues in Wisconsin such as Madison's High Noon Saloon, The Rave, The Miramar Theater, & X-Ray Arcade in their hometown of Milwaukee. H1Z1 has also performed on the Rebel Music Stage at Summerfest.



H1Z1 has shared the stage with a number of high profile metal acts since their formation, including: Jinjer, Soulfly, Rivers of Nihil, Born of Osiris, Psychostick, Saliva, D.R.I., The Convalescence, Sumo Cyco, The Browning, and Bad Omens.
