DOMINATOR
Dominator was formed by dark forces in autumn 2001. Soakened by the crimson tears that fell from the bloodred sky, Artur, Tunus and Maarten talked about forming a new band. The profane keywords were Metal and Mosh. Maarten asked Mark, with whom he also played in emo-gangband Deadweight, to join them on their crusade. The evil circle was completed with the entrance of Richard who used to play bass in the punkrockboyband Duece. While the sky drew black, they cut the flesh and drank the blood as they transformed into DOMINATOR. During their first rehearsals it became clear that Maarten had a perfect voice for this kind of thing: growling low into the oblivious depths of hell and screaming paranoid at the everly whispering angels. The riffs that Artur and Mark spit out took them right back to the mideighties when bands like Slayer and Metallica ruled the battlefields, all of this combined with the brutal, chunkin' mosh parts that dominated the metalcore-scene at that time. Add to that the unsubtle, ballbreakin' beats of Richie and the sleazy bass-sound of Tunus and the Dominator sound is defined. Soon they hired a manager called CB, who also happened to play in Deadweight. Now, whe can tell you a lot about this guy, but that's a completely other story. Come to one of our shows and you'll know what we're talkin' about. Basically it was his job to keep the band on track and to protect themselves from themselves. You see, Tunus suffered from violant behaviour towards women and the other bandmembers, who were almost always to fucked up to remember their names. They all had some serious drugproblems and on top of that Maarten was also uncontrollably addicted to porn. Richie got involved in some serious car accidents due to alcohol abuse while Mark and Artur snorted cocaine and ate pills for breakfast. Now CB turned out to be the biggest fraud imaginable; he was an alcoholic pervert himself, so keepin' Dominator on track wasn't the case here. Anyway, their first gig in April 2002 at the infamous scsiCell in losertown nr. 1 The Hague was turned into complete chaos. None got out alive, everyone left in pieces. This is what you should expect from a Dominator show!
Facewreck
Facewreck originally startd out somewhere in summer '02 as a side-project of mainly Sander en Roelant who were both already active in other bands. They wanted to do something new, something else of what they were doing already. A few (close-) friends were called in to try out some ideas and after writing a few songs and also after a few line-up changes, Facewreck was formed in late '03 in the way they still are today. Now with the members Sander & Rogier (Vocals), Veron (Drums), Vincent (Guitar) and Rogier (Bass) Facewreck is at it's ultimate form to blow anything that crosses their path away.....
i-reject
In 1994 old school fury appeared on the horizon with a new name. I-Reject originated in Zuid Holland and grew out to be a band to be reckoned with in the present and future. Mixing all the old to the new school flavours into a blend that's best described as "fast and hard, rough and tough", I-Reject produces a variety of furious hardcore anthems, especially appropiate for mass sing-a-long pile-ons and violent moshing. Playing numerous raging shows in- and outside their native country, I-Reject has been able to build up a respectable following in the western part of Europe. But the story doesn't end here…there are more territories to be conquered. Backed up by successful releases and upcoming fury I-Reject is ready to convince the rest of the world of the quality of their hardcore. Be aware of it…
