Channel Zero formed in Bruges, Belgium in the late 1980s around brothers Xavier and Phil Vanhaverbeke, with Peter Camps on bass, Gunther Smet on guitar, and Michael Alaer on drums. Their self-titled debut album arrived in 1990, a straightforward thrash metal record that found an audience in Belgium and beyond.
Their 1992 song "Skinhead" drew protests at a German show that year, cutting the performance short. The band kept recording through the mid-90s, putting out albums like "Stigmatized for Life" in 1993 and "Black Fuel" in 1996. "All For One" appeared on "Stigmatized for Life" and became one of their better-known tracks.
Smet and Alaer left in 1997, replaced by Tom De Smet and Wim Van der Haegen. The group released "Unsafe" in 1998 and "A Taste of Extreme" in 2000 before going quiet around 2003.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
