Formed in 1992, and with plenty of practices and gigs under their belts, the original line-up released their first split EP with Warcollapse at the end of 1993

 

The next split EP with Doom was released in 1994. The Weakness EP was also released in 1994 and a tour of Europe with Doom was undertaken. After the tour Fozzy left the band to be replaced by Ginny on bass duties, and work on the Baptised in Shit album began. The album recorded, the band set out on another tour of Europe with Warcollapse in 1995 and the album was released during this tour.

Early 1998 saw the recording of the Scars of Mankind EP. Around this time Foz left the band to be replaced by Tony on the drums. Then a tour of the UK and Scotland with Wolfpack. After this tour it was decided to go the two guitarist route bringing in Scoot (ex Largactil, Doom, Hellkrusher), but things didn't work out and Mass left, leaving Scoot sole guitar duties.
