Waxmonsky ebbed and flowed through various incarnations of solo monikers, and failed bands but at 19 he formed his current outfit, the psychedelic heavy metal band, “Gods of Space.”
Gods disbanded and reformed in 2017 and played various local shows along with out of town dates. Gods released a full length record in November 2018 that encapsulates the love of heavy music that Waxmonsky developed.
