Applehead was formed in 1992 as a solo project for Greg Minier while playing for the acclaimed California thrash metal band the Crucified. Applehead would open the Crucified shows starting that same year. The first album was called 'Meaning' and was released on the Ocean Records label(with a limited re-release in 2022 by Roxx Records.) Greg was featured in the August 1993 edition of Guitar World magazine with a five-page article talking about all things guitar and the Crucified.
Fast forward and 2023 saw the release of a new Applehead record, "The Light Side of the Apple." For original Applehead fans, it is a fresh breath of new music. Unlike the original album, which was sludgy and grungy rock, the new album is a massive injection of retro modern metal stylings. It encompasses tempo variations from slow/insightful to all out fast/speed/shred with lyrics that make you ponder life, death, and the struggles in between. The first single was released in February of 2023, called 'Down' and is available on all streaming services including Spotify, iTunes, YouTube music etc. A full length music video released April/May 2023 for all platforms.
Applehead continues to surprise fans and critics with exciting live shows and another album in the works to be released in 2025.
