About Me


The new frontiers to be conquered are mainly in the convolutions of the brain's cortex.
- Arthur Koestler -
Maybe this is just an easy hideout from the duties and pressure of everyday's life. Maybe this is just an expression of having reached quarterlife and making quite a big deal of our so called individuality.
But in the end, that's how we feel about it: Finding our own way through the struggle of creative process and merge what we'd like to be part of something supposed to satisfy our own musical needs - which of course has never happened since the beginnings in late fall of 2003 and probably never will.
We played our debut show with friends from Berlins finest BATTLE ROYALE in October 2004. After a change on bass Joe came into the picture in March 2005 and immediately the combination gelled. Since then we have played out with various bands such as ZANN, ACLYS, SEX POSITIONS and AN ALBATROSS to name a few we liked a lot.
Our product is subject to various musical influences like different styles of hardcore, metal, grindcore and jazz. Before this, we used to be in KAYLA, AVERY and MEMNOCH. Being from all over Germany we have found Berlin to be an inspiring place and the different faces this city shows find their way into our songs and lyrics.
