After various
changes regarding singers and musical influences censored finally stuck
in 2001 with the present line-up (Manuel Früh (Bass / Vocals), Marcel
Zilic (Guitar) and Niklas Naumann (Drums)) and with deathmetal.
This trio which has been forming the band's core since the beginning,
seems to be the best setting for the band, resulting in dynamic and power
in the songs and at concerts..
Our music has meanwhile developed to deathmetal. Strong US-metal influences
combined with fast blast speeds and even some hardcore riffs are characteristic
for the hard sound of censored.
The lyrics on the other hand treat mostly political and social critical
subjects and are sometimes rather philosophic or even depressive. Censored
impress with their continuity in songwriting and their strong presence
on stage, a fact that in the meantime brought the band a lot of concerts
and experiences throughout Europe.
Our first CD (censored - red edition), which is a rerecorded edition of
the former demo from 2001, was recorded in July 2002 at the Tectorial
Studios in Embrach (CH).
Having played numerous concerts in Switzerland we went on an Eastern European
tour together with Cropment (CH) playing concerts in I, SLO, SK, PL and
CZ.
In summer 2002 we also participated in some festivals as the Krhanice
Open Air in Krhanice (CZ), the Mountains of Death Festival in Muotathal
and the Hellvetia Day 2 in Sursee.
Shortly thereafter the second and current CD (system disease) was recorded
at the Dynamo Studios in Zürich.
At the beginning of February censored's CD-release party took place at
the Dynamo Zürich, whereafter we had another one-week-tour, this
time to Western Europe together with Tribes of Caïn (CH), with performances
in D, BE and E.
In February 2003 censored finished their new MCD "system disease"
at the Dynamo Recording Studio in Zurich. After a lot of positive reactions
from Swiss and foreign Reviewers (for example Metal Hammer (August 03),
Legacy (03/03)) and the subsequent concerts, censored decided to start
searching for a label.
