Isaac (ex Leng Tch'e & Bob's Bizare Bazaar) and Stijn had been trying to form a new grindcore band for a long time, but in September '06 they teamed up with two racers from Kruagre/Crust Deluxe, Dieter and Jonas. The foursome was quite creative and January '07 the band felt that the time had come to think about gigs, recordings and most of all, a name. After a long search Isaac came up with 'A Den Of Robbers'.
Utrecht, Utrecht Province, Netherlands (2002 - 2009) Utrecht based metalband Led Astray simply plays metal the way the bandmembers themselves like to hear it: a dynamic hybrid of death and thrash and although the band is not religious, there are undercurrents of spirituality in their lyrics. Led Astray was founded in 2002 by guitarists Martijn and Rogier with the intention of creating a refreshing mix of death and thrash in which the two styles complement each other seamlessly without sounding generic or attempting to be original.
Formed in 1993 by Chick Graning, Jud Ehrbar, and Joyce Raskin. The trio soon had a major label bidding war. They toured America, Europe, England, and Canada, with much acclaim for their live shows. Their Red Ep was distributed worldwide, landing in the UK charts, with songs like "All Sideways" and "Days like this". In 1995, following a support tour with Hole in Europe and on the verge of seriously breaking it big with their debut album Deadsexy, Chick suffered a brain aneurysm and lapsed into a coma for several weeks.
