BIO:
Isaac (ex Leng Tch'e & Bob's Bizare Bazaar) and Stijn had been trying to form a new grindcore band for a long time, but in September '06 they teamed up with two racers from Kruagre/Crust Deluxe, Dieter and Jonas. The foursome was quite creative and January '07 the band felt that the time had come to think about gigs, recordings and most of all, a name. After a long search Isaac came up with 'A Den Of Robbers'. In March '07 the band got to work and played their first shows, and a lot more would follow. By July 07' the band started recording 19 songs for different kinds of releases such as compilations and split 7"s. Eventually 8 of those songs ended up on a split 7" with FromTheAshes (sweden) on I Hate Humanity rex and one song on the Belgium's Burning compilation 7", which were both released in January '08. 2008 ain't over yet though, the band's gearing up for a UK tour with Sylvester Staline, appearances at Bloodshed Festival (Netherlands) and Blastonbury (England) and recordings for the upcoming releases. Be prepared! DIY or Die!

ABOUT 'A DEN OF ROBBERS':
Literally "a den of robbers" means a place where people who steal come together. We'd like to use it as a metaphor for all the greedy human beings who can never get enough. We took it out of the Bible, from the story where Jesus clears the temple. When Jesus goes to the temple, he sees people selling animals and moneychangers. He kicks them all out and says that his house will be a house of prayers but they are making it a den of robbers. And right now there's still hypocrite pedophile priests selling statues inside of a church, rich growing richer on the poor, people who abjure all their ideals just for money: people selling out! They will do everything to get more and more and more... We fucked up each other and we fucked up the planet! People made this world a den of robbers! As you can see, this is a sentence that summarizes the decline of man. It explains why we despise mankind.
