EDGECRUSHER was created early 1999. The line up consisted of JO
(guitar),
Sientje (drums) and Freddy (bass). To make it
more interesting and to get a bigger sound by doubling some guitar
riffs,
ISAAC (guitar) joined the band in the summer of that
year. A couple of months before the recording of their first CDemo
“Damnatio
Memoriae” back in 2000, EDGECRUSHER
finally found a singer. Not only did DAVY (vocals) a good & hard job on
the
demo, but he also released it on his own label SOLAR
RECORDS. Meanwhile Freddy decided to leave the band, as he was more
into
oldschool hardcore. A couple of weeks later Thijs
(bass) joined us and was ready to rock.
EDGECRUSHER started to make new songs, which sounded more death / thrash
and
less hardcore/thrash. It seemed JO and
ISAAC suddenly found the right track. This led to more powerful songs
and
better structures, of which Impressions Of Mankind
is the result. Due to personal problems, Sientje left in the winter of
2001
and the search for a new drummer began. In the meantime
Michael (who was their sound engineer for the first CDemo and for the
gigs)
helped them out. But since they already had the plan
to record the new stuff, ISAAC contacted GOD DETHRONED’s drummer ARIËN
to
play drums on this demo. Drums were
recorded on juin 8th 2002 in the Trax Audio Recording Studio in Ghent,
Belgium. And because of a lack of dedication,
Thijs was fired a couple of weeks later.
The intention was to record the bass, guitars and vocals on the
computer at
home, but as the guy who’d do the job had lots of other
things on his mind, EDGECRUSHER still decided to go to MICHAEL’s
studio.
After a lot of months, problems and frustrations,
we started the recordings in february and finished them at the end of
april
2003. The songs still need to be mastered.
Right now EDGECRUSHER is already writing new songs in the manner of
Impressions Of Mankind and they are looking for an
acceptable record and distribution deal & gig offers in the European
underground scene. They still havn't found a drummer with
ARIEN's skills, but if the God Dethroned scedule allows it, EDGECRUSHER
would do a couple of shows with ARIEN.
