Taster's Choice

Taster's Choice project is born in Livorno (Italy) at the end of 1999 as a collaboration of four friends (Marco Bassini aka 'Ghiando', Pietro Marsili aka 'Peter', Mattia Biagini aka Jason and Alberto Pieri) concentrating on Crossover Style but, after a first promo of Five songs, the Band composition changed.
In 2000 the band has begun a process of maturation and has been supplemented with a new Guitarist, Simone Fiori, with a percussionist (Francesco Tonarini aka 'Togno') a Dj (Filippo Gherardi aka 'Homer') and another Singer (Daniele Nelli aka 'Mister').

Blindead

Blindead was founded in Gdynia, Poland in 1999 by Michal Zimorski (Zima) - bass and Mateusz Smierzchalski (Havoc) - guitar. Few months later, Marek Zielinski (Deadman) - guitar, Konrad Ciesielski - drums and Patryk Adamczyk - vocals, joined the band. It was a casual project made for pleasure rather than a professional band. Besides, in the same time, Havoc became the guitarist of Behemoth and it was his priority.
