Masthead Banner Made with MyBannerMaker.com! Click here to make your own!Diphtheria were formed in 1999 by JOHN LAWRENCE (guitars) and ADAM 'MolochZ' MOYLAN (bass,vocals) with the sole purpose to add something new to the Irish scene. We started out as a Sludge/Stoner/Doomish type metal band with various line ups but our ideas were to make the band MORE EXTREME and BRUTAL yet accessible.
This only stared to come about with the addition of DEMIEN 'Little Orphan Annie' FOX on drums who fit the bill perfectly. We went on to record our FIRST DEMO in 2000 entitled "AS ABOVE SO BELOW". We started giging up and down the country arond this time, as well playin with some great Irish bands and, getting a lot of positive feedback. Selling quite a few cds along the way. By this time we were getting tighter as a unit and each of us were coming up with more ideas for technical songs and crazier themes.
This led us to recording our SECOND DEMO in 2002 entitled "THE ORDER OF CHAOS". Which unfortunately we didn't get the chance to release due to various reasons (Financial, Members personal commitments, the list goes on... and on).
We played three gigs in the week following 'Orders' recording, Galway - Castlebar (see reveiw in blog) - and Dublin, which proved to be our last.The following years saw fewer opportunity to rehearsed, although we did finish one song, and Damiens departure from the band.DIPHTHERIA UPDATE - As of October 2007 DIPHTHERIA and our brand of Chaos Metal is reborn. John and MolochZ are currently in the process of writing and arranging Entropic matter for the next step in our evolution. With two new songs done and enough material for 10 demos. The Future Holds Death.
