The band was formed in 1994 by the guitarist Steve Minelli.
In March of the same year they released a demo called "Grind Revolution in Mass Evolution" , which got excellent reviews into the music magazines.
The style they played at that time was a mix between death-metal and grind-core enriched by very good technical and song writing arrangiaments.
In September 1995 the Node line up was completely turned over, with the new vocalist/guitarist Gary d' Eramo, new bass player Klaus Mariani and new drummer John Manti.
With Steve Minelli of course, they released in December 1995 the second demo "Ask".
Being of an easier listening impact than the first demo, "Ask" put Node into a music area much closer to bands such as Metallica, Slayer and Pantera.
At the same time, this demo was published by italian label "Lucretia Records".
The month after have been spent throughout Italy playing live on stage, with grate rewards.
Meanwhile the band was already working on new stuff but still facing same line up troubles; the drummer John Manti left the band in April 1996 for Oinos, ( Thy Natur / Sadist) who stayed 'till December; Gary d' Eramo did the same in March 1997 due to deep differences of musical opinions; Daniel Botti, vocals, took his place.
The brand new line up signs with the Lucretia Records and in January 1998 releases the debut album "Technical Crime".
Their new stile is violent, strong, technical and aggressive.
This sort of technical thrash/death has been really appreciated both by critics and audience.
After this CD Oinos left the band, unfortunately.
His place taken by Loris Pacaccio, the band began playing live in some italian festivals.
But the darkest period for the band is winter 1998/99, due disagreements inside the line up; Klaus Mariani was about to leave the band, who rests standing 'till March 1999 at least.
With the come back of Gary d' Eramo the band is again alive with the following line up: Steve Minelli (gtrs), Gary d'Eramo (gtrs), Daniel Botti (vc), Loris Pacaccio (dr) and this fact gets Klaus Mariani to regain his role inside Node.
Unfortunately in few month Steve Minelli at first and Loris than, left the band.
Despite the loss of their founder, Node, with great fortitude and band sense kept on playng, to see their effort rewarded some months later, with the entrance in the line up of Joe La Viola (Gory Blister) and the recording of a new demo CD (June y2k) "Land of Nod" which has provided the deal with "Scarlet Records" (Necrodeath, Terror 2000).
In August 2001 the recording of the second album has been planned in Sweden.
Now the kind of music seems to mix the wide classic heavy atmosphere with an obsessive and aggressive interpretation of the northeurope death metal.
