Artist: Decomposing Serenity
Artist: Inhume
Holland's Inhume formed in 1994, their mission: to create a singularly vile and inaccessible form of gory grindcore in the image of gross-out supremos Carcass and Autopsy. Characterized by an ever-shifting lineup not dissimilar from their disgustingly mushy, oft-fast-decaying subject matter, Inhume members including (but not limited to) vocalist... [+] Read More
Artist: Cheval de Frise
Instrumental music duo created by Vincent Beysselance and Thomas Bonvalet, Cheval de Frise was noticed everywhere in the French underground circuit as soon as their debut LP was released. Emerging from the Bordeaux rock scene, the two musicians found the opportunity to tour in a more important circuit, thanks to their album. Being on Sonore, the... [+] Read More
Artist: The Permanent Waves
We are Brian Hendricks and Richard Cole, and we record under the name of The Permanent Waves. We have both played guitar for over 20 years, during which time we cofounded an all-originals band that lasted 9 years. After that band decomposed (we were called The Three Squares, and you never heard of us) we took an extended break and have only... [+] Read More
Artist: Macabre
This long-lived Chicago trio became a cult favorite among death metal fans with their perverse themes that inspire just about as much boyish giggling as they do shock. Though Macabre was one of the first bands to ever experiment with the themes and songwriting that would eventually become widely known as death metal, the group remained primarily... [+] Read More
Artist: Phoenecia
Unlikely heirs to the legacy of Miami hip-hop represented by Maggotron, 2 Live Crew, Tony Butler, and MC A.D.E., beat decomposers Phoenecia combine bass music's boom with the glitchy, angular, digitally processed post-electro of Autechre, RAC, and other artists associated with the British Warp label. Originally releasing music as Soul Oddity,... [+] Read More
Artist: Monte Cazazza
The work of controversial performance artist Monte Cazazza has been sampled in numerous books, films, and recordings over the years. Hailing from Oakland, CA, Cazazza spent the early '70s experimenting with his art, often indulging in such gross-out acts as burning a partially decomposed, maggot-infested cat, which would often shock his audience...

Artist: The Matches
The exuberant Oakland pop-punk outfit the Matches initially formed as the Locals in 1997 when vocalist/guitarist Shawn Harris, drummer Matt Whalen, and bassist Justin San Souci were still in the early days of high school together. Frustrated with the lack of under-21 venues in the Bay Area at the time, the guys took matters into their own hands,... [+] Read More
Artist: K Banger
They say that the truth will set you free. With the long awaited debut release from Shaman Works newest addition to the label roster, K Banger presents Truth Be Told, ten songs of freedom from the overflow of disposable music today. Catching the tip of the digital release tidal wave with the official downloadable drop date set for July 10th,... [+] Read More
Artist: Layne Staley
Few rock vocalists created such a dark and eerie body of work as Alice in Chains' Layne Staley. Born in Kirkland, WA, on August 22, 1967, Staley showed musical talent at an early age, and took up the drums. But upon joining garage bands and discovering rock music as a teenager (Black Sabbath, the Doors, etc.), Staley switched to singing. He met... [+] Read More
Artist: Guided by Voices
Inspired equally by jangle pop and arty post-punk, Guided by Voices created a series of trebly, hissy indie rock records filled with infectiously brief pop songs that fell somewhere between the British Invasion and prog rock. After recording six self-released albums between 1986 and 1992, the Dayton, OH-based band attracted a handful of fans... [+] Read More
Artist: Primordial
1987 - Yep, 1987. At this time Metal was pretty damn popular in Ireland and in the town of Skerries (some 20 miles outside Dublin) several young teenagers (just) were about to take up arms in the name of Metal. Paul (bass) and his brother, let's call him D (for drums) started learning to play, caught in the thrash metal buzz. Obviously... [+] Read More
