Fozzy

Employing a punishing but affable blend of hard rock and heavy metal, Fozzy is a San Antonio, Texas-based outfit fronted by WWE (formerly WWF) wrestler Chris Jericho. Emerging in 1999, the group issued two collections of mostly cover songs before shifting their focus to all-original material with the release of 2005's All That Remains. Since then, Jericho and core members Rich Ward (guitar) and Frank Fontsere (drums) have issued a string of Billboard-charting efforts like Sin and Bones (2012), Judas (2017), and Boombox (2022) that pair glossed-up modern metal with classic hard rock. According to a series of short online films, Fozzy originated as a legendary American metal band who, unable to get out of their record contract, spent 20 years in Japan. When they returned to the U.S., lead singer Moongoose McQueen and the rest of the group found that artists like the Scorpions and Ozzy Osbourne had become stars by stealing Fozzy's material. In reality, Fozzy is led by WWE wrestler Chris Jericho, with the remainder of the group initially consisting of Atlanta rap-metal outfit Stuck Mojo. Shortly after the videos were introduced in October 2000, Fozzy's self-titled debut album was released by Palm Pictures/Megaforce as a tie-in. A short tour and an MTV special (no doubt due to the then WWF's contract with the network's parent company) led to minor recognition from the metal underground, but Jericho's wrestling commitments cut the band short after the record's release. Still, after Stuck Mojo wrote and released an album, and Jericho won the heavyweight championship, they came back together and recorded another LP, this time with writing contributions from Jericho and guitarist Rich Ward. The results, Happenstance, were issued on Megaforce in the summer of 2002. 2005 saw the release of All That Remains, Fozzy's first collection to feature all-original material. The album sold over 100,000 copies and was generally well received by both fans and critics. Chasing the Grail, released in 2010, helped to further cement the band as not only a legitimate populist metal act but a force to be reckoned with as well. Released in 2012, Sin and Bones, the group's third collection of originals, premiered at number one on the Billboard Heatseekers chart, eventually making its way to the coveted Top 200 albums chart, while 2014's Do You Wanna Start a War proved to be the band's most successful outing to date, debuting in the number 53 slot on the Billboard Top 200 and cracking the Top Ten on the Hard Rock Albums chart. In April 2017, Fozzy released the title cut from their seventh studio long-player, Judas, which arrived later that October and made a strong showing on several rock-oriented charts. 2019 saw the band issue the single "Nowhere to Run," followed by "Sane" in 2021, and "I Still Burn" and "Purifier" in 2022. All four tracks appeared that year on the group's eighth studio effort, Boombox, which was released by Sony Music.
