===Band information===
 
Henry's Anger was formed in 1994 by rock journalist Rod Yates and former [[Addictive]] and [[Psychrist]] entity Coffey, the early line up of Henry's Anger was completed by guitarist Mal McAllister and vocalist Zeb Nowhere with a musical path mapped out in a similar direction to that of '''TOOL'''.
The "Interfere" EP contained the track '(sic)' which became something of a favourite on Triple J's ''Three Hours of Power'' program. After this McAllister was replaced by Paddy Coffey and Nowhere was ejected shortly after for Jamie Thomas.
The musical direction shifted somewhat towards a dark and disturbed nu-metal style but the songwriting also matured, resulting in the ''Blacklining'' album winning them the title of Australia's best metal band from the UK metal mag ''Kerrang!'' Audiences became more and more used to the band's presence as they supported the likes of '''Suicidal Tendencies''', '''The Deftones''' and '''Mr Bungle''', as well as the band's own heavy touring schedule, but perhaps the major breakthrough came when it toured with '''Strapping Young Lad''' in early 1999, two months before the release of the stunning ''Personality Test'' album, a remarkable issue which won the band an ARIA Award nomination for Best Rock Album.
With international interest looming in the band, and midway through a round of promotional shows for the album, Thomas left/was sacked from Henry's Anger, and the band was forced into inactivity for several months while a replacement was sought. In mid December 1999, former '''Mischling''' vocalist Steve Simmons was chosen as Henry's Anger's new singer, and virtually at the same moment they were added to the bill of the 2000 Big Day Out in Sydney. The band then toured with '''Sprung Monkey''' and featured as the national support for '''Skinlab's''' tour in May 2000. While a new EP was promised for August 2000, Henry's Anger suddenly announced they had split up shortly after a showstopping performance at [[Metal for the Brain]] in October 2000.
Simmons joined [[Cryogenic]] in late 2001 and Thomas, Yates and Paddy Coffey formed '''Brace''' around the same time.
