Combatwoundedveteran—sometimes styled as Combat Wounded Veteran—was a band blending emoviolence and screamo styles, originating from both Ithaca, New York and Tampa, Florida. Throughout their seven-year tenure, they produced multiple split releases, including a notable collaboration with the influential screamo outfit Orchid. Their discography also features a 10" EP, a full-length record, and a post-breakup compilation gathering most splits alongside early EP tracks. Despite infrequent touring and a relatively concise catalog, their influence remains prominent within the powerviolence and screamo communities. Toward the end of their existence, they were signed to the respected Florida-based label No Idea Records.
Chris Norris, the band's guitarist, has transitioned into graphic design under the moniker Steak Mtn., creating visual art for musicians such as Atom And His Package, Orchid, and Against Me!.
Their musical style drew heavily from foundational elements of grindcore, screamo, and powerviolence genres.
