History
After A while, that drummer left the band so we entered in another drummer, with this lineup, we recorded GRAVE on 3-06-96. We also went to Phoenix, AZ 2 times. Once at the MASON JAR the other time was for a private house party. The GRAVE CD was very, very special to us. We dedicated that cd to our good friend Ed Ross’s memory. Ed was murdered around early 96. Very sad Tragedy. We strived to let every one know about GRAVE which seemed to do really well internationally. We had radio airplay all over on this. They were mostly college radio stations but cassette tapes of radio shows airing tracks from GRAVE were sent to the band from as far away as POLAND. Also there were lots of magazine and fanzine reviews as well. This time once again the drummer left unable to go on the road to support Grave. When we got our new drummer and still friend to this band Mark Dompiere, we went on the road and stayed there 9 months. On this tour, we did several shows including Albuquerque, NM for the 2nd time, Columbia MO, Kansas City, MO, St Louis, MO, Bonne Terre, MO, Dupo, IL, Waterloo, IL, Cahokia, IL, Chicago, IL, 2 or 3 times, West Palm Beach, Lantana and Tampa Bay, FL, Winston-Salem & Raleigh, NC, Spartanburg, SC, New Castle, PA, New Orleans, LA, and Bloomington and Terre Haute, IN. Several shows in support of this album cities we’ve played listed later in this bio. While still on the road on the Grave tour we recorded on 12-17-97 Dawn of Souls in Chicago @ 35th St Studio. Dawn mcd 6 songs. We won this thru a battle of the bands we played in Chicago the expo of the extreme. We continued doing shows and ended up while still on the Grave tour. In May 98 we recorded Christ Has Risen another mcd 6 songs we recorded in Park Hills, MO at Masters Touch Studios. These mcds did not really further us in anyway however both releases have good music. Most fans like these 2 releases. After we recorded Christ Has Risen, we returned back to Las Vegas and began setting up another tour, this time with Master. Unfortunately Master missed most of those scheduled shows due to line up problems however we forged on and did most of the shows. There were like 3 that cancelled due to Master. During that time on the road again, we recorded another 6 song mcd called U$$A. To this date, we’ve done more touring road shows in support of this release than all else previously. U$$A has taken us on a lot of journeys both in the states and out. We also got on some tours with other bands running around supporting U$$A like with LEPROSY (MEX) KRABATHOR(CZECH REP) ,JOHNNY VOMIT (CHICAGO), IMMORAL INTENT (BELLINGHAM WA) DISGORGE & ANARCHUS (MEX) In Jan 2000 we went to Lima Peru thru System Beyond Rec. There were 12 scheduled shows but we did 5 of them and were the 1st American band to tour thru Peru. We did Lima, Ica, Juan Cayo, Chic Layo, Juliaca. While in Lima we recorded our 6th cd titled Volume 6. John Capcha guitarist for Hadez Limas oldest metal band engineered Volume 6. On 11-25 & 26th 02 we recorded Lock the Dead. It took until Jan 07 to press and release it. Playing time it’s a little more than 19 minutes however it has 12 songs and KICKS ASS. Any fan of metal should like this one. It is dedicated to the underground. There should be something on this release for everyone. In March of 06, we recorded our 8th release RETROWAR. This one has 7 songs on it. I’m guessing its another mcd but again its very, very well thought out subject matter and music. It took us over 1.5 years to write these songs. It is war, millitary, and weapon themed. Death Doom & DESTRUCTION and we feel Lock the Dead & RETROWAR are and will be received as our best releases to date. Cities we’ve played are very important to us. Besides all the previously mentioned cities in Peru and the USA a lot of the USA shows we’ve played multiple times examples Chicago 8 times, Columbia, MO 6 times etc, Besides those we’ve done Seattle and Tacoma, WA, Portland, OR, Missoula and Boseman, MT, Moscow, ID, Hollywood, San Francisco, Chatsworth, Pacoima, Salinas, Concord, Eureka, San Diego, Los Angeles, Merced, Pico Rivera, Orange Co.

added a bass player to the lineup and did several local shows.
