ADDITIONAL INFO :
Put together
by remaining members of RISING NATION, who gained a certain following
as well on the national than on the international scale, PUNISHED EARTH
saw the light in the end of March 1997. Their major aim is to crush down
the masses with their infamous, brutalizing music. The concept of PUNISHED
EARTH appeared to be pretty much end-time oriented, lyrics mostly relating
on what they see all around, and this is far of being nice. The music
is a blend of different brutal music ranging from hardcore to grind/noise
over death and industrial with an open door to all other styles of brutal
music ...
The line-up in the beginning was Fred (vocals), Axel (guitar), Tanya (bass)
and Horst (drums). In November 1997, a first gig was played on the birthday
party of their vocalist in front of a hand full of kids, mostly knowing
nothing about grinding music. In February 1998, they record a first 10
tracks tape in "The Fridge", their rehearsal place, on a 4 track
machine with the help of Francis Habets. On 20th May 1998, they had the
incredible opportunity to open for the US deathgrind legend MORTICIAN
on their first gig in Ludwigshafen (Germany) followed by a live appearance
on the WEE LEWAAT festival in August 1998. In October 1998, Horst (drums)
decide to quit and leave the band. A new drummer is found on the same
day in Manni - a more than worthy replacement. In February 1999, a second
8 tracks tape is recorded again in "The Fridge", and again with
the help of Francis Habets. With this piece of shit, they gain some more
attention in the underground and UXICON records approach them with a one-cd
deal. In June 1999, the band decide to split ways with Tanya mostly due
to her lack of time and interest. They rehearse a few bass players but
none did fit. As no reliable bassist could be found, they decide to go
on as a three piece, doing new songs and hoping to find some day a worthy
replacement for Tanya. The line-up then is Fred (vocals, sampling), Axel
(guitar and bass) and Manni (drums). January 2000, the band enters the
Underworld Recordings Studios in Lemiers (The Netherlands) to record their
debut cd "Frankenstein". This album is officially released in
August 2000 on Uxicon. In May 2000, finally, after a long quest, they
thought would never end, they find a bassist in the person of Patrick,
who was busy playing in some crapy wannabe-brutal cover bands. The line
up then is and still is Fred (vocals, sampling), Axel (guitar), Manni
(drums) and Patrick (bass). The release of the debut album is followed
by some great gigs opening for bands like AGATHOCLES, MY MINDS MINE, REPUGNANCE,
LAST DAYS OF HUMANITY, WORLD DOWNFALL, INTESTINAL DISEASE, SUBLIME CADAVERIC
DECOMPOSITION, INGROWING, KADATH, ILL FARES THE LAND, SUHRIM, CARNAL FORGE,
MORTICIAN (again), INHUMATE, MALIGNANT TUMOUR, MUCUPURULENT, CRIPPLED
BASTARD, HOUWITSER, PREJUDICE, MAGGOTS, BOILING REMAINS, and much more.
In October 2001, the band enters the TRANSPUNK studios to record a follower
on "Frankenstein". The result is a seven track audio violence
nightmare entitled "RUINED EMPIRE".
