History:
The story of DethFX began in mid-2021, when Brett Kaffenberger (bassist) met Raul S Collazo (vocalist and guitarist) in the Orlando area of Florida. Raul had posted an online advert seeking musicians to form a new band. After a few rehearsals playing cover songs, they teamed up with drummer Rob Tetro, also found through an advertisement.
Over time, the group decided to start composing their own music and felt the need to add another guitarist. In January 2022, Brett discovered Rod Mariani through an advert and invited him for an audition. With Rod’s successful addition, the group finally solidified as DethFX.
The band’s diversity of styles resulted in a unique sound they describe as Progressive Thrash Metal — a blend of traditional American thrash metal with elements of progressive heavy metal. DethFX cites influences such as Slayer, Overkill, Dream Theater, Trivium, Black Sabbath, Symphony X, Anthrax, Tool, Pantera, Sepultura, Lamb of God, Soilwork, and Between the Buried and Me.
DethFX are:
• Raul S Collazo – Vocals and Guitar
