tobi, kiese, benni and flo decided to dissolve their former
bands Seven Strikes Back and Nameless Grave to put
their whole energy into a new project. Just a couple of days
were needed to find a name for their new band and so, in
january 2005, REFUSE TO COMPLY officially was born

traditional death- and thrashmetal with the groove of hardcore
music and catchy melodies to create their powerful and
hardcore influenced metal music.
