From powercore roots, these self-actualized bombasticators blasted onto the scene with a full arsenal of musical rocket fuel. Absorbing the best of what their home planet had to offer, The Rulers found themselves in command of a rock-'n-roots agenda with few constituents. Realizing the need to expand their base, The Rulers set to work attuning themselves to the newer wave of Rocknoscenti, and began their steep ascent up the musical Himalayas.
At the summit, using a high-definition two-stage subset woofer acceleration filter, they were able to tune in the sound of Earth's creation. It would be several years before their hearing and higher brain functions returned to normal.
After this epiphany, The Rulers returned to the address-based world, ready to tackle the next phase of Operation Rockaholism. Whilst unwrapping a jewel case of "Pandora's Rock!", The Rulers unwittingly deployed the monsters of rock, and were forced into a deadly game of Tet, which they found highly offensive. Fortunately, their 1972 sub-atomic fretless atom smasher came back from the repair shop, and found itself immediately and gainfully employed. The battle was won, but the experience left The Rulers supine, and for many moons they lay inert, until their rebirth. They now join you directly from their studio deep within the earth, contained entirely in a SUBTERRANEAN LIMESTONE CASTLE .
