Incipit:
The band has been created in 1993 by Nicola Bianchi with the aim to
create an uncompromising weapon melting together everything’s Extreme in his
personal idea of music. Year by year a strong coherence and firm will gave to
this damned creature a respected name being considered the first violent act
moving from Italy and one of the most killer acts into the Underground scene.
During 18 years a lot of different musicians took part (lees or more)... to this project
headed by Nicola who never accepted neither compromises nor different
influences to his way to play music. “Coherence and Underground spirit ahead!
this is my mark!”.
