Till autumn they made a pact with three another beer-companions Vlado, Edo (guitars) and Erik (drums) and started to compose first songs. 1993 After a very busy winter, the band got first offers to play shows, therefore it has to have some kind of name.

In autumn 1993, just before the recording, guitarist Vlado is leaving the band. Edo’s brother Lubo (member of a group called PARANOYA) is asked to help in the studio. In November 1993 the band is releasing the self-produced demo tape called “Practical Brutality”, which contains 10 songs covering 31 minutes. It comes together with the color booklet and revolutionary sound. 1994 The year 1994 was very hectic. The band established contacts with few labels from the home scene (OBSCENE Prod, IMMORTAL SOULS Prod) that helped with the promotion and distribution of “Practical Brutality” tape. The band started to play shows across the Slovakia and Czech Republic, which was a great help to get into the minds of many fans across the Europe. 1995 During this period the band accepts offers to participate on many compilation CD’s from the whole world. Until that day, they sold more than 1.000 copies of “Practical Brutality”. The search for a bigger record label has begun. After recording a song “No Interest” for a “BEST DEATH METAL SK” compilation CD, an offer from a German label GULLI REC. came. The band sent their material, but the label never answered back. 1996 This year is very important for the band. After few problems and both sides agreement drummer Erik is replaced with only 16 years old Vlado from underground band UNCONCERN. Guitarist Lubo also became a full-time member of PATHOLOGY STENCH, because his former band split-up. The group sings a deal with IMMORTAL SOUL Productions and goes on tour through Czech Republic. Just few weeks before recording the new CD, guitarist Edo decided to quit and to get married and live in Czech Republic. All the studio works are postponed. 1997 The band’s line-up gets stable.
