Arma Angelus

Arma Angelus was a metalcore band from Chicago. The band formed in 1998 and broke up in 2002. Members of the band were Pete Wentz (vocals, now bassist in Fall Out Boy), Tim McIlrath (bass, now lead singer of Rise Against), Jay Jancetic (guitar, now plays guitar for the Chicago band Holy Roman Empire), Daniel Binaei (guitarist), Adam Bishop (guitarist, now an English teacher at Liberty High School in Bakersfield, California), and Timothy Miller (drums).

After Tim quit to form Rise Against, he was replaced in 1999 by Christopher Gutierrez (known to Fall Out Boy fans as the HeyChris in "Grenade Jumper" from Take This to Your Grave). Gutierrez is now a touring author and spoken word artist^[1]. He was replaced as bassist for one tour by Joseph Trohman (now a guitarist in Fall Out Boy). Trohman was a poor fit for the band in terms of familiarity with the music and in terms of stage presence. He was replaced mid-tour when the band flew Chris Gutierrez out to New York for the final half of their tour, including a stop at CBGB's. Joe stayed on as a roadie.

In the last Arma Angelus concert, Patrick Stump played drums, Pete Wentz sang, Joe Trohman played guitar along with Adam Bishop, and Christopher Gutierrez on bass.

Influences

The band's primary influence was Damnation A.D.^{[citation needed]}
