Beaten To Death - Biography


Biography

Beaten To Death was formed by Martin Rygge, Tommy Hjelm (both normally heard handling guitar-duties in Oslo-based metal quartet Insense) and drummer Christian "Bartender" Svendsen (also the relentless drumming machine in Tsjuder, The Cumshots, Grimfist and Gothminister), with Mika Martinussen and vocalist Anders Bakke (the latter well-known in the metal community after years of fronting the mighty She Said Destroy) completing the line-up.

On September 26th the band released their first album on Mas-Kina Recordings, consisting of 9 songs, 1 second of silence, and 18 min 36 sec of gritty but strangely catchy grindcore. Machine gun drums, ferocious guitars, snarling bass and intense vocals is the foundation of the B2D-sound. Add hauntingly beautiful harmonies and a brutal groove, and what you have is an infectious collection of deadly grind you won't be able to sit still to, no-matter what your taste in music happens to be!
