Once upon a dark and stormy night, the brothers WiGstead, comprised of guitarist Wig and bassist Gahmstead, decided to form a band. After several failed starts, they formed Umbilical Cord, named after a Silent Hill 3 reference. Using their knowledge of musics from both video games ranging from Super Mario to Final Fantasy to Halo and hard rock/metal acts such as Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, Children of Bodom, etc., they set out to write music that brought the best of both musical worlds together. Now with the MAWesome (to get the reference check out The MAW video and the lyrics to The MAW) power of drummer Mikey Wright, the vision of metal music with an Umbilical touch is nearly realized.
