About Me

Get Your Own! | View Slideshow
DESENSITISED have been around since 2001. The band was not actually formed but evolved from the band CATAFALQUE, from which Susan (guitars/additional vocals), Steven (vocals) and Rutger (drums) had been previous members.
In July 2002 their first MCD Thriving on carnage was released by the Dutch Bleedin Hemorrhoids records and was generally very well received in many magazines worldwide. Thriving on carnage contains seven songs of old-school death metal incorporating elements of grindcore.
In June 2003 DESENSITISED entered the studio again to record five new songs for their second release Bought Beauty, which shows the bands progress. They have developed a more brutal and tighter sound. In June 2004 the Bought Beauty tracks were released as a split CD by Grodhaisn productions from the Czech Republic. The band shot a video for the track Black Gold in cooperation with Lowlife Media.
After some major changes in their line-up the band seemed to have found the right chemistry in 2004 and started concentrating on writing new songs and playing live. DESENSITISED have played some successful gigs, amongst others with Arch Enemy, Suffocation and Pungent Stench.
In February 2005 the band recorded their first full length CD entitled Virus of violence,which was released on Pathos Productions (USA) in the summer of 2006.
Shortly after the release bassist Jeroen was replaced by Raets.
Early 2007 the band decided it was best to put the band on hold for a while because of line-up problems.
In November 2007 the band started rehearsing again with new members and they’ll prepare the recordings for their second full length CD.
In March 2008 Desensensitised decided to continue under the name MURDER SYNDICATE.
