Master

Master is the most well-known project of bassist, vocalist, and songwriter Paul Speckmann. They were well known in the early extreme metal underground, being both one of the first death metal bands, and one of the most influential alongside Death in the emerging death metal scene. The band began in 1983, and still exists today, having released several albums with many different lineups.

Paul Speckmann started out as bass player in doom band War Cry, where he met up with drummer Bill Schmidt who was drafted in to replace previous War Cry drummer, Joe Laccino. Together, Speckmann and Schmidt decided to form a more aggressive metal band based around Motörhead, Venom, Slayer (US) and the whole emerging extreme metal movement. Eventually, Schmidt and Speckmann left War Cry, who (after their departure) also got rid of their heaviness. Schmidt had begun writing songs in the thrash vein as early as mid-83, and Speckmann followed suit. They named their band Master, and auditioned 26 guitarists, none of whom were suited to Master. This caused Schmidt to leave Master and join local metal act Mayhem (US). Speckmann decided to start his own band, Death Strike, using songs originally written for Master. He was joined by guitarist Chris Mittlebrun (who had auditioned for Master a year earlier, but was still stuck in the Judas Priest mode) and together they wrote more Death Strike songs. Second guitarist, 16 year old Kirk Miller was brought in, along with drummer John Leprich, who was apparently a drunk.

Vibrion
Emerged back in '89 under the monicker of Chacal, they later changed into Vibrion in 1992.  On that year, they infected the international underground scene with their first demo album "Erradicated Life" positioning them as a cult act worldwide, soon after released on EP by the swiss label Witchhunt Records and with two songs featured on 1994 Nuclear Blast's "Grindcore" compilation.   Followed by their first full-length album "Diseased" (1995) , full-length album "Closed Frontiers" (1997- recorded at the famous Sunlight Studios, Sweden and produced by Tomas Skogsberg) and "Instinct" EP (2002) the band developed an unique style combining the most violent death-grind attacks, which come unexpected after their slow bending and "tango-ish" riffs, all combined with their trademark double blast technique which they named "Cuatrijera".    In 2015 Vibrion just finished the recording of their long awaited new album "Bacterya".   Vibrion touring :    During their first years, Vibrion started playing many gigs in Buenos Aires and surroundings, later in the whole Argentina as well as in Uruguay and Bolivia. In April of the same year, their most important gig was played supporting Kreator in front of 2500 people. In '94 and '95, the band did European tours in Belgium, France, Spain, Germany, Holland, Finland and Switzerland. After a long hiatus, the band re-formed in Belgium in 2013 and with two new members. Disembodied Records released the full remastered discography and took Vibrion on a 10 dates Argentinian Tour, followed by some dates in Belgium and a performing at Extremefest (Hunxe, Germany).    Bacterya :    Bacterya was recorded in September 2015 at Blackout Studios, Brussels, Belgium Mastered by Andy Classen at Stage One Studios, Borgentreich, Germany   It has been released in Argentina by Disembodied Records and in the rest of the world by Xtreem Music.   Today based in Belgium, the unfrozen evil is back again, and a new plague will be unleashed.
Atroxentis
Born in 1997, Atroxentis, an extreme metal project lead at first by Thibaut was composed of Thibaut, Yannick, Gavin and Christophe. After a couple of monthes and two early gigs, they released a demo called “Evil’s prisoner”.   The band split up in 1998 due to some members being involved in their studies but came back under the lead of Yannick (guitar/vocals) and Sven (drums) later this year. Since then, the band’s line-up has changed multiple times.   We recorded two songs for the “Unleash your dark side” split in 2000.   Then, David filled the guitar spot and Ludo took the bass. We recorded then our first album in 2004 : “Blood heals my wounds” with this team.   Ludo left the band and the remaining members started composing new material for a complex concept album to be called “Verus Dominus”. David decided to leave the band in 2010 and was replaced by Olivier.   After a few gigs (including the Mass Deathtruction Festival) with the new line-up, we started recording our new LP called “Verus Dominus”. Eventually, we went to the Polish Sound Division Studio in Warsaw for the reamping, vocals and final mix/mastering by Malta.     We are now looking for gigs/interviews/reports to promote and share this new massive piece of music.
