Master Of Waha is a new musical adventure created by Xavier Carion (ex-Channel Zero, Sons of Jonathas ) and Stef ‚Doc‘ Sinnaeve. They already have been working together recording the Sons of Jonathas -album ,The Death Dealer' in 2005.
When they met vocalist Jason Vanacker, their creativity adopted a completely new dimension. Xavier and Stef decided to built this project around Jason’s voice. The result is astonishing. The songs were composed very spontaneously and they are recorded likewise, classic hard rock influences are molded in a modern pattern.
The debut album „Wasteland“ had been recorded at Jonathas Studio in Edingen (B) by Xavier Carion himself, between late 2009-beginning 2010.
The mix and mastering was done in the mythic Antfarm Studios (DK) by the almighty Tue Madsen.
In March 2010 the dutch Ronald Camonier joined The Waha as the second guitarist.
After opening for bands like Corrosion Of Conformity and Sevendust, Master of Waha starts shows as headliner announcing the arrival in the Waha of Nicholas Brynin on bass.
The band signs a deal with Ultimhate records for Europe in June 2011.
„Wasteland“ was released in September 2011.

Tired of all these 'innovative' bands trying to re-invent the bloody wheel, are you? Well, maybe it's time you kick all the crap to the curve and meet HEDONIST. Combining the forces of RULE (Sardonis, Solenoid, …), FRENZ (Solenoid, ex-The Killbots, …) and COZY (Serpentcult, ex-Leech 54, …), this no-nonsense, hard-rocking and riff-worshipping juggernaut will take you on a road trip to rock-'n'-roll avenue where the women are hot, the beer is cold and the music is blistering. Sounds good already? Imagine Lemmy joining hands with the neckbreaking High On Fire, only to play some lost Slayer-riffs and hitch a ride home with an early version of Spiritual Beggars. Even better? Hell yeah! In August 2011, barely eight months after the initial duo of Rule and Cozy was joined by bearded conspirator Frenz, HEDONIST recorded three furious, hard-hitting rockers at STUDIO JONATHAS (owned by former CHANNEL ZERO-/current MASTER OF WAHA-axeman XAVIER CARION, the man who consequently also handled the mixing duties) as a taste of things to come. Recorded live, raw and brutally honest, the songs showcase the same energy, spirit and power HEDONIST brings to the stage, so no overdubs, fancy effects or other faggotry involved. Do you need more reasons to check us out and bang your greasy little heads? Well, we could lie and say that we are supersexy, but we are fucking not, so let's keep it at rock-'n'-roll, shall we? "Pleasure is the highest goal in life", those are the words of a HEDONIST and this one will make sure that you'll live by them…
