Wrench in the Works was an American Christian mathcore/metalcore band originating from Hartford, Connecticut. Formed in 1999 by members of previous bands such as CT's Groundzero, Wrench in the Works initially began as a side-project to explore creative freedom beyond traditional genre expectations. The band released their debut album Prodigal Transmission in 2005 under Redscroll Records. By 2008, they had signed with Facedown Records and released their second album, Lost Art of Heaping Coal. Wrench in the Works underwent several lineup changes, culminating in a final lineup of four members for their third and final album, Decrease/Increase, released in March 2010. The band was notably featured on TVU's metalcore show, Battery, with a video for their hit song "Dust Over Time Test". On September 28, 2010, Facedown Records announced that Wrench in the Works had disbanded.
