A cult industrial-metal band formed in 1982, known for dark lyrics and abrasive sound.
If you want to hear what they're about, 'Children of Decay' and 'Anthem' frame it well. The first has that dark, haunting pull, the second hits with their industrial noise.
Their song 'Children of Decay' became a cult favorite with its haunting melody and lyrics about societal decay. Tracks like 'Anthem' and 'Dream For Tomorrow' maintained that industrial-metal blend across their catalog. They were hard to categorize early on, which gave their sound a raw, unpolished edge.
Formed in 1982 with John Scott on vocals, they signed with Earache Records in 1988 and released their debut album 'Torment'. They put out several albums through the 1990s and early 2000s, including 'Sympatico' in 1990 and 'Epicurean' in 2003. Their music kept that abrasive industrial-metal mix throughout.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
