After a decade of drumming for thrash metal legend "Slayer", Dave Lombardo left them in 1992 for personal reasons and to pursue the birth of "Grip Inc."
The first member to join Lombardo was Gus Chambers, who's most famous gig other than Grip was "21 Guns"-he played with numerous British punk rock bands throughout the '80s.
The next member was ex-Overkill guitarist Bobby Gustafason; but unfortunately, within a few months, they realized that his ideas were different than Dave's. Dave then met Waldemar Sorychta while working on the Voodoo Cult Project-best known for playing guitar in the speed metal band Despair. He also produced albums for bands such as Tiamat, Unleashed, Samael, Asphyx, The Gathering, Moonspell and Sentenced..
The band met ex-Heathen bassist Jason Viebrooks on the way to recording the album in Germany. In late 1996, Jason was fired from the band after the recording of "Nemesis" .
The newest member of the band is bassist Stuart Carruthers-all we have been able to find out about him is that he is from Vancouver, Canada, and that he was recommended to the band by Devin Townsend from Strapping Young Lad.
