In these days and age it's difficult to present yourself as an original band. And let's be honest; who is waiting for too much renewal, we certainly don't. Now there's a strange thing going on. How is it possible that a band like us released an album called "Beautyfilth" and gets almost only very good reviews and what is more shocking, calling us innovative! We were shocked, devastated, thinking we had made a cool grindcore/death metal album and getting these reviews. We put our heads together and came up with the brilliant idea, "Let's make a real underground product!". So we did, after releasing our CD we decided to record a 7" EP called "the Truth", setting new standards in the grindcore-scene. These reviews were more to our liking. Underground fanzines ragging and calling us "Gods of Grind" (nagual mag) and we even became single of the month in the dutch mag "WATT". We can mention about piles and piles of good reviews to you, but what's more important is what you think about us!
At the end of december 1995 our second full-lenght CD "Brave Melvin from the southern point" was released. We think that this album will be a milestone in the dutch metalscene. Never before has such speed been combined with such passion and technical composership.
We will convince you, Melvin will blast you into outerspace!!! There are no false promises and arrogance is a word you will not find in our dictionary. Just listen and convince yourself and share our thoughts and visions through our music and let that be a Consolation to us all...!
