Weddg's full length album, 'From The Ruins', released on July 18th, 2008 features 13 songs and has propelled them to the next level. They now seeks to open their repertoire of venues and expand their fan base.
Weddg finds inspiration in the music of Metallica, Shadows Fall, and even Pink Floyd while staying true to their own unique sound.
