Asphyx

Among Holland’s first loss of life metal rings, Asphyx was formed in 1987 by then-Pestilence mainman Martin Vehicle Drunen (vocals/bass), with Eric Daniels (acoustic guitar) and Bob Bagchus (drums). After a small number of demos to summarize the ’90s, Asphyx agreed upon with Century Mass media Information and proceeded release a a steady stream of albums and EPs, including 1990’s Mutilating Procedure EP, 1991’s The Rack, 1992’s Crush the Cenotaph EP, and 1993’s Last One on the planet. None of the came anywhere close to breaking the music group from the loss of life metal underground, nevertheless, as well as the disgruntled associates of Asphyx thought we would split up for this period. Van Drunen briefly joined (but hardly ever documented with) England’s Bolt Thrower and got associated with several other tasks, but Daniels noticed in good shape to record one last eponymous Asphyx record (with vocalist/bassist Ron Truck Pol and drummer Sander Truck Hoof) before signing up for Bagchus in a fresh music group known as Soulburn. Strangely, the last mentioned would after that “come back the favour,” when he produced a new edition of Asphyx (with vocalist/bassist Theo Loomans and guitarist Ronny Truck Der Wey) and documented 1996’s God Cries. Stranger still, Daniels was after that invited back again to perform on a single year’s Embrace the Loss of life, and Asphyx was officially laid to rest (no, actually!). That’s, until the season 2000, when these Soulburn (comprising Daniels, Bagchus, and vocalist/bassist Wannes Gubbels) thought “the actual hell” and proceeded release a their latest record, In the Wings of Inferno, beneath the outdated Asphyx banner.
