COMMENTS

The original line-up of the band had no singer.

The band kicked out Ryan, Craig was next to go, then Mike. Paul and Anders joined after Ryan left.

In February of 1994 the band recorded one demo tape called the 'Basement Demo', as it was recorded in the basement of bass player Paul Gray.

One of the band's songs, 'Meld', was later used as an early name for Slipknot.
