!T.O.O.H.!

1990 in Czech Republic the brothers Josef “Humanoid” (guitar) and Jan “Schizoid” Vesely (drums/vocals) founded the band Devastator. In 1993 they changed the name of the band to !T.O.O.H.! (The Obliteration of Humanity).
From 1995 to 1997 they recorded 2 demos of grinding death-metal with cynical and black humour lyrics, “Vy kusy mrdacího masa” (“You pieces of fucking flesh”) and “Sen to není, nesmí” (“It’s not can’t be a dream”), joined in 1997 by Petr Slavícek “Android” on bass (ejected by the band some months later). Both received very good feedbacks from the underground scene.
Since 1999 Humanoid & Schizoid recorded 2 albums in duo, “Z Vyšší Vůle” (“From Higher Will”) in 2000 + “Pod Vládou Biče” (“Under the Reign of the Whip”) in 2002, released on CD. They joined in 2004 by Wokis (Guitar) and Freedom (Bass), who still form the current line-up.
In 2005, they signed a contract with legendary british label Earache for their third album “Order And Punishment”. Their music has evoluted to Progressive Death/Grind in their own identifiable style.
Later they released themselves a lot of productions, essentially EP’s, distributed by the band in digital download files.

  • Humanoid – Guitar, lead vocals.
  • Schizoid – Drums (lead vocals from 1990 to 1999).

Archenterum

Archenterum was founded in 1997 nearby Avignon (Southern France) as a side-project of extreme metal-music. Musically influenced by Slayer and Impaled Nazarene, their first effort Nuclear Forces, a furious mix of harsh black metal and old-school thrash metal was released in 2000. Then the project entered a period of inactivity.
In 2005, JeeHell D. joined the band, marking a new beginning for Archenterum. The second auto-production Insanity of War was released in 2009 presenting a more personal melodic death metal. The underground press was quite enthusiastic.
After three years of hard work, the band delivered six elaborated and mature songs with Paradoxe 29A their third musical creation. With their unhealthy death metal sound, the band received a unanimous support from the underground scene.
After a break in their musical evolution, the band re-recorded 5 songs from their first effort as well as two unreleased songs published in 2013 under the title Exhumed.
In 2014 Archenterum published a new EP called The Ending, containing 2 new tracks.
End 2018, the band recorded and published themselves on Bandcamp an advance version of their debut album …ainsi fut Abîme on digital download. Finally released in April 2019 by Facthedral’s Hall on CD limited to 200 copies.

Line-up :

  • Greg D – Guitar, lead vocals.
  • Matt D – Guitar, additional vocals, drum programming.
  • JeeHell D – Bass, additional vocals.

Minitel

Solo project of Iconoclast (musician in metal bands Annthennath, Evil Spells, & Silver Machine), originally Minitel was not a standalone project. He started to compose dark ambient with his band Annthennath in the idea to mix the ambient and the indus tracks with a violent raw & linear black metal. Finally not used by the band, he finished these tracks in 2006 under his own dark ambient side project, for compose  the debut album of Minitel, at the time called “HarMegiddo”. Minitel is essentially composed on computer, but Iconoclast uses digital synthesizers, electric guitar spent in dozens of audio traitments + effects, and a lot of home recorded sounds which were tortured & disfigured.
This debut album was finally edited on June 2016 by the label Facthedral’s Hall, under the name of “Abîmes”, on CD jewel box limited to 300 copies.

Velvetine

With guitars, voices and machines, Velvetine gives a rock tinged with electro music blended with wild poetry. By finding its roots both in ethnic and noisy rock music, Velvetine colors its powerful and restless universe with harmonies and subtle tones.
Velvetine was created by two members of former “Septembre Noir”, experts in sound manipulations and manufacturings of musical machines.
After their debut album “Septembre” in 2007, the band was scheduled in various music festivals in particular: Leibzig- Germany (Unter Rock), Prague-Czech Rep. (U Maleho Glena) and in France: Strasbourg (La Laiterie) or Le Printemps de Bourges. They also released several EPs, four clips, and two residences. The band in trio since 2013 worked a long time on their second album “Crematorial Dance”, finally released in March 2016 by Facthedral’s Hall on digipack CD limited to 500 copies. Through its research, the dark universe of Velvetine was enriched with sound constructions and structures that reinforce the originality of this unusual and creative training. On stage, this training now more haunting still crosses the raw guitars and electronic sounds; sometimes industrial, electronica, or ethnic; digital lights and videos, a vintage rock mixed with avant-garde technology. The obvious complicity of the band guides the public in quiet then tense and powerful atmospheres.
Velvetine search actually new gigs in France & Europe for present their new show.

deadrow77

deadrow77 is the solo project of Fabien Della Roma, started at Marseille in 2000. The first track “0X1” was composed in 2001 for the v/a compilation Assortiment de F.H., and his second was published in 2004 for v/a the compilation A Tribute To Burundi. At this time, deadrow only used a MIDI keyboard controlling the G.M. bank of his Sound Blaster internal card for compose some tracks on his P.C.. These tracks were chronologically published in 2005 on a debut album mi-figue, mi-raisin released on Facthedral’s Hall.

In parallel, deadrow77 participated many times with the band Sizzle for their improvised recording sessions.

Now deadrow77 lives in the Pyreneans mountains, he is a farmer who grows organic Saffron. In 2013 he restarted to composed improvised music on an Arturia MiniLab synthesizer, still recorded in multi tracks on P.C.. A first collection (2013/2014) of these new series of improvisations came out January 2016 on a double CD entitled “Dark Waves For Little Greys”, still released by Facthedral’s Hall to 500 copies.
