Biography

On an angst-driven evening in January 2011, multi-instrumentalist Dirk Verbeuren (Aborted, Scarve, Soilwork) carved grindcore act Bent Sea out of his disembowling passion for the noise that permeated the air of his teenage years. Equipped with an arsenal of furious beats and ferocious riffage, Verbeuren created an assaulting army of tracks, enlisting his Aborted bandmate and fellow Belgian Sven de Caluwé to call the formations. A musical homage to the founding fathers of grindcore and noise, such as Napalm Death, Repulsion and Terrorizer, Bent Sea is also a tribute to today's vibrant scene and countless amazing bands that push the envelope and/or keep the tradition alive. Godflesh, Black Lung, Scorn, Endvra and other non-grindcore acts being a definite source of inspiration as well. Lyrically, Bent Sea addresses human and social issues, although it must be said that the music precedes the message."We're not here to preach", says Verbeuren, "but we're certainly not afraid of our opinions."

The band's debut 11 song EP Noistalgia, produced by Devin Townsend, who also filled bass duties, was released digitally on 11/11/11 and a limited cassette version is due out via Tankcrimes in April 2012.
