raw lightly extreme electro/industrial. the electro component reminds more to the early nineties, and has nothing to do with most techno-like "electro"- or future pop-bands from these sad days

Discography and Biography ::
It all started some years ago, in september 1999. The only thing I knew about making music was trying to make some metal sounds with my guitar, but I wasn't a guitar specialist, and I just didn't work out. But yet I still wanted to start a band. In that time I met two musicians, Stijn and Filip. We wanted to make some raw industrial electro with heavy guitars. Stijn would make the electronic music, filip would be guitarist, and I had to blast mu throat. We had much plans, but Stijn was asked to play the drums in another band, and Filip gave up for carreer reasons... I was left alone, and didn't have any experience with PC. But all wasn't lost: in june 2000 I bought my PC, and started searching for software instruments. In the beginning, I stil used my guitar (bad idea, It was horrible) on the first two demo cd's "life doesn't suit everyone" (august 2000) and "rejected" (november 2000).
On my first live performance (together with Slave Seperation, Diagnostic Error, Amal Beating Bastards and Wasaia) we started Fear the Light Underground Promotion, to organise our own gigs together on different places in Belgium. We had a few succesful mini-festivals (not always overcrowded, but fun), but in september 2001, we all quit Fear the Light. The same evening (afterparty), Slave Seperation and I decided to restart FTL, but with another mission: promoting contractless dark bands on line with free mp3's. And now you are seeing what we created after the joining of many bands... but that's another story.
On my third demo cd "agony fargone (limited edition 3cd box - january 2001)" I didn't use the guitar anymore. I was getting a little bit better, but not worth writing home. The fourth demo-cd "mindless fearless" (april 2001) was just a mini cd that announced the forthcoming fifth demo cd "fearless lifeless" (july 2001), the sound was getting more precise, I knew already what I wanted to reach. Some other people started to get interested in my music, and the track "lethal prophecy landed on the First "dark demons sampler" (free with Dark Entries Magazine, july 2001).
On my sixth demo cd "vacuum 6" (november 2001), I created for the first something even I still listen to sometimes, more more more different sounds.
My seventh demo cd "doloribus mundi" (september 2002) sounded like "vacuum 6", but it was much better worked out, and the structure had improved enormously.
My eighth and till now last demo cd "design of torture: death by completion" (september 2003), sounds in the same way as the previous, but I changed some characteristics: 1 better sound quality 2 no beats anymore, only natural drum sounds 3 more raw and extreme 4 much less bass, bass music helps people getting into sleep, without it, the sound is much more sharp and extreme.
