History & Biography
A death metal band from France, the band was founded in 2000 and issued a self-titled demo in 2003. Another self-titled demo, albeit with a new logo, appeared in 2005. Xtreem Music issued the group’s debut album to start 2008. The band and label quickly parted ways differing on several matters including the cover artwork of the subsequent album. Francois, the producer, also joined the band because the act’s regular bassist had injured his hand. Fisting You All was supposed to be issued by Aural Music initially. The band would later report that Aural Music was wasting time.

It took five years for the band to issue something else, namely the Delightful Carnage demo of 2013. Ginger Sternwood was the singer and Gautier Blondeel was the bassist. The group toured with the American Disgorge. The band announced shows with Cerebral Bore in Spain and played at the Metal Sphere festival in 2014. The band reappeared on a label in 2017. Michael Bernadat left in that year however. Two singers joined the band in succession in 2017 and 2019, Solenka Scylla and Sylvain Colson. Gautier returned in 2017 after having left in 2014. The act was working on a new album in 2019.


Reviews

PSYCHOBOLIA - FISTING YOU ALL - XTREEM  
Crappy cover design and illustration and never heard of these guys before, but boy oh boy hear the music and be impaled upon the cross of lies! The band hails from France and more specifically Paris, but could it get any more anti-romantic than an album, which is called Fisting You All, titles like Slaughter, Androgynous and Severe Headfuck and music that rips at 666 kph? The blasting speed of these songs mixed with the occasional technicality and exploding solo will not be contradicted. The amazing thing about the way this quartet manages its incredible speeds is how it never loses control, tightness or power. The hysteria becomes even more amazing when one looks at the photo of the line-up and notices the name of the singer, Caroline. You could have (and did) fool me. She, just like the band, is not fooling around. This is as extreme as anything out there and, as importantly, as brutal as any death metal album. This means we now have even more brilliant extremeness from France for fans of Sinister, Krisiun and the like. Yes! - Anna Tergel
