WHO ARE WE???

We're a bunch of crazy screamers from Melbourne doing our part in giving middle fingers to the cunce up top who dangle puppets by their fingers and hoard their cash. But don't be intimidated by that, we don't go around chopping the heads off corporate bosses. We do our job by making some noise with our strings and sticks about the shit going on.

OUR ORIGIN STORY

It all started when the lead singer laid an egg-

Yeah, nah, the real story is a little more complicated. It all started in a dysfunctional public high school in St Kilda where I (Sin Theta, the one doing all the singing :D) really loved to sing with my best friend, CNemaz, who played the bass along. We also really loved chemistry class. We had a band called "Periodic Turmoil" that played a few times at school concerts before our guitarist went to med school thanks to his tiger parents, and our drummer left us for a "cooler" band. Fake as, right?

We graduated and stayed in touch. CNemaz went to get his chemistry degree, while I became an actor in some local films while bouncing around from side gig to side gig. As Cnemaz slaved away under a rigid school system and I got trapped in an unfair job market, we slowly started thinking of the people at top really pulling the strings to make this happen. The thoughts turned to frustration, and that frustration turned to RAGE. And that rage, led to a reformation of our band.

One of our fondest chemistry memories was observing a piece of beryllium. One of our classmates acted like it was uranium or something, and freaked out about it killing all of us. He went on and on about a "beryllium apocalypse." And guess what that became? Our band name!

The problem was, we didn't want to pull our old guitarist out mid-surgery to do some shreds, and we didn't want to sabotage another band to get our drummer back. So, the search for some new recruits started.
