Black Pus was formed in 2005 when members of the Fledging Artist Group known as Hillarious Attic were making a list of "Black" bands. To get on the list, Hundred Arms decided to make a fake band. What begins as a joke becomes all too real. As the bands notoriety grows band leader Hundred "Brian Chippendale" Arms decided clones of himself were the only way to fill out the ranks and answer the demand. The first clones are out of their cocoons now appear to be of higher quality than the original. In fact the original feels his life is in danger and worries the clones are plotting an overthrow.
