ADDITIONAL INFO :
EDGECRUSHER
was created early 1999. The line-up consisted of JO (guitar), Sientje
(drums) and Freddy (bass). To make it more interesting and to get a bigger
sound by doubling some guitar riffs, ISAAC (guitar) joined the band in
the summer of that same year. A couple of months before the recording
of their first CDemo “Damnatio Memoriae” back in 2000, EDGECRUSHER
finally found a singer. Not only did DAVY (vocals) do a good and hard
job on the demo, he also released it on his own label SOLAR RECORDS. Meanwhile
Freddy decided to leave the band, as he was more into oldschool hardcore.
A couple of weeks later Thijs (bass) joined us and we were ready to rock.
EDGECRUSHER started to make new songs, which sounded more death/thrash
and less hardcore/thrash. It seemed JO and ISAAC suddenly found the right
track. This led to more powerful songs and better structures, of which
Impressions Of Mankind is the result. Due to personal problems, Sientje
had to leave in the winter of 2001 and the search for a new drummer began.
In the meantime Michael (who was EC’s sound engineer for the first
CDemo and for the gigs) helped them out. But since they planned to record
the new stuff, ISAAC had already contacted GOD DETHRONED’s drummer
ARIËN to play drums on this demo. Drums were recorded on the 8th
of June 2002 in the Trax Audio Recording
Studio in Ghent, Belgium.Because of lack of dedication, Thijs had to leave
a couple of weeks later. The intention was to record the bass, guitars
and vocals on the computer at home, but as things got in the way, EDGECRUSHER
still decided to go to MICHAEL’s studio. After a few months of frustrations,
we started the recordings in February 2003 and finished them at the end
of April. Mixing was done in May and we mastered everything at home in
June. As MICHAEL quite suddenly left the band we had to look for a new
drummer. And we were still short of a bass player. Weeks went by and suddenly,
out of the blue came KAREL (drums) and STIJN (bass).
Right now, Edgecrusher is feeling stronger than ever before and we are
composing brand new songs with a constant musical evolution and another
CDemo in mind... We’re also looking for an acceptable record and/or
distribution deal & gig offers in the European underground scene.
