LabRat

Once upon a time, in Jersey in the Channel Islands, four pieces of scum, bound together by circumstances not beyond their control, hatched a hideous, diabolical plan to fuck with peoples heads by defiling the conventions of modern music through dischordance, non-existant chord-progressions and irregular tempo changes.

The Soulless

The Soulless is a UK extreme metal band, formerly known as Ignominious Incarceration... The band explains: "The band started in the pits of hell that was Sam's basement.
