The Wage of Sin were a metalcore/hardcore band from Jersey City, New Jersey. The Wage of Sin were formed in October 2000 by Rachel Rosen. Indecision had just broke up and Rachel finally had time to start an all girl band like she had always wanted. She wanted to prove that there are girls in hardcore who can play their instruments well and write their own songs. The Wage of Sin managed to write songs that combine elements of hardcore, metal, and punk that clearly holds its own against their more testosterone-heavy counterparts.

The Wage of Sin managed to write songs that combine elements of hardcore, metal, and punk that clearly holds its own against their more testosterone-heavy counterparts. They've shared the stage with such hardcore and metal luminaries as Converge, Sick Of It All, Poison the Well and Shai Hulud and they've never once come across as the weaker sex.
The band released two albums: The Product of Deceit and Loneliness (2002), A Mistaken Belief in Forever (2003), and disbanded in May 2005.
After 4 1/2 years of being in The Wage of Sin, the girls became very busy with their other bands: Rachel full time with Most Precious Blood, Vanessa with Infidel (formerly rebel alliance), and Laura with All For Nothing. Laura then also was getting her Masters and working part-time, Vanessa was working, and Melissa was working and traveling as a TV producer. Needless to say this has left they with very little time to dedicate to The Wage of Sin.
