PUNISHED EARTH
(Belgium) ......Brutal
Death Metal Grindcore......
Put together by remaining members of RISING
NATION, who gained a certain following as well
on the national than on the international scale,
PUNISHED EARTH saw the light in the end of March
1997. Their major aim is to crush down the
masses with their infamous, brutalizing music.
The concept of PUNISHED EARTH appeared to be
pretty much end-time oriented, lyrics mostly
relating on what they see all around, and this
is far of being nice. The music is a blend of
different brutal music ranging from hardcore to
grind/noise over death and industrial with an
open door to all other styles of brutal music
... The line-up in the beginning was Fred
(vocals), Axel (guitar), Tanya (bass) and Horst
(drums). In November 1997, a first gig was
played on the birthday party of their vocalist
in front of a hand full of kids, mostly knowing
nothing about grinding music. In February 1998,
they record a first 10 tracks tape in "The
Fridge", their rehearsal place, on a 4
track machine with the help of Francis Habets.
On 20th May 1998, they had the incredible
opportunity to open for the US deathgrind legend
MORTICIAN on their first gig in Ludwigshafen
(Germany) followed by a live appearance on the
WEE LEWAAT festival in August 1998. In October
1998, Horst (drums) decide to quit and leave the
band. A new drummer is found on the same day in
Manni - a more than worthy replacement. In
February 1999, a second 8 tracks tape is
recorded again in "The Fridge", and
again with the help of Francis Habets. With this
piece of shit, they gain some more attention in
the underground and UXICON records approach them
with a one-cd deal. In June 1999, the band
decide to split ways with Tanya mostly due to
her lack of time and interest.They rehearse a
few bass players but none did fit. As no
reliable bassist could be found, they decide to
go on as a three piece, doing new songs and
hoping to find some day a worthy replacement for
Tanya. The line-up then is Fred (vocals,
sampling), Axel (guitar and bass) and Manni
(drums). January 2000, the band enters the
Underworld Recordings Studios in Lemiers (The
Netherlands) to record their debut cd
"Frankenstein".This album is
officially released in August 2000 on Uxicon. In
May 2000, finally, after a long quest, they
thought would never end, they find a bassist in
the person of Patrick, who was busy playing in
some crapy wannabe-brutal cover bands. The line
up then is and still is Fred (vocals, sampling),
Axel (guitar), Manni (drums) and Patrick (bass).
The release of the debut album is followed by
some great gigs opening for bands like
AGATHOCLES, MY MINDS MINE, REPUGNANCE, LAST DAYS
OF HUMANITY, WORLD DOWNFALL, INTESTINAL DISEASE,
SUBLIME CADAVERIC DECOMPOSITION, INGROWING,
KADATH, ILL FARES THE LAND, SUHRIM, CARNAL
FORGE, MORTICIAN (again), INHUMATE, MALIGNANT
TUMOUR, MUCUPURULENT, CRIPPLED BASTARD,
HOUWITSER, PREJUDICE, MAGGOTS, BOILING REMAINS,
and much more. In October 2001, the band enters
the TRANSPUNK studios to record a follower on
"Frankenstein". The result is a seven
track audio violence nightmare entitled
"RUINED EMPIRE". It unfortunately took
more than a year to be released. In that time,
Axel showed more and more uninterest for the
band. After a longer time of uncertainty, he
left Punished Earth in 2003. As more than
replacement we found Ludo and Val shortly after.
As a five piece, Punished Earth recorded a few
songs for the release of a split cd-r together
with BOILING REMAINS. In December 2005, Manni
decided to leave the band due to a lack of time
to follow up. As the band had some gigs to be
played, they asked Earl (formerly drumming in
KADATH) to help out on these performances. As he
enjoyed the whole stuff and did some great work
at the concerts, we decided, in mutual
agreement, to go on working together. In
march/april/may 2006, the band entered the TRASH
CAN studios in HC again to record the tracks for
our long projected third cd recording
"CORPORATE DICTATORY". This one has
been selfreleased in october 2006. In december
2007, they recorded 9 new tracks which were
released as split cd together with ANAL
PENETRATION (NL). In the beginning of 2009, they
did some new studio recording which should have
been released as split cd with BLOODRAISED(IT)
around autumn of 2009 on F.D.A. REKOTZ. This
split was cancelled by the label in january
2010. As they wanted this material to be
released as soon as possible, they decided to
release the 15 unreleased tracks as a Mcd
entitled "RHAPSODIES OF DECAY". They
first projected to put it out as a self
production, as they did with "CORPORATE
DICTATORY", but the Belgian label ROTTEN TO
THE CORE showed some interest and took it over.
In this time, Pat left the band for several
different reasons. They decided that Ludo would
take over the bass part. The current line-up is
Fred (vocals), Earl (drums), Ludo (bass &
guitars)
