Mr. Bitterman was conceptualized in 1998 by guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Myles Rourke. The initial idea was to create an industrial/metal band with a lyrical interest in horror and the macabre.
In 2000 the "Bitter1" Demo was unleashed. At the time of release Myles was recruited into the fledgeling version of Ottawa metal band Drillpoint which put the Mr. Bitterman project on hold. After a 5 and a half year run as an integral part of the Drillpoint machine it became apparent that Myles should part ways with Drillpoint and return to the music that ran stronger in his blood.
Early in 2006 Myles returned to writing and recording under the banner of Mr. Bitterman. Deciding to return to his thrash roots, the writing lost it's industrial influence and lyricaly returned to a more "tongue in cheek" approach to the macabre. The 2006 Demolition package has been released and is available for promotional use only at this time.
Myles has also been involved with Totally Different Productions as an actor/composer/FX artist since 2001. The website http://www.betterwithzombies.com is due to launch on Monday May 21st 2007 with the first installment starring Myles called, "Sex: Better With Zombies. Check it out!!
