Vermin Bio June 2006
Dutch death metal outfit Vermin, currently a four piece band, puts a lot of progressive elements into their music, which makes them stand out in the underground scene as it is today.
An analysis of Vermin''s work reveals the likes of Cannibal Corpse, Hate Eternal, Morbid Angel, Cryptopsy, Immolation and Deranged as the band''s main influences... but also other well established names such as Meshuggah and Dillinger Escape Plan have put their mark on the overall creative process.
The demise of their old band led drummer Pascal and axeman Ron to the birth of Vermin back in April of 2002. An incredible amount of rehearsal time spent -up to 4 times per week- resulted in an abundancy of ideas and songs. Recordings of those ideas and songs led Vermin to establish a first complete five piece line-up, and a finished demo: "Alea Iacta Est". The 3 songs on "Alea" got Vermin a lot of gigs, but the band members didn''t just sit back to enjoy that ride. Pretty soon preparations for a second demo started.
This time a full-length demo called "Solypsis" (2003) saw the light of day. On top of that, "Solypsis" carried a bonus video clip for the song "Deviate" along with the audio. Vermin had no fear of putting the pressure on. That, as well as the amount of bookings, went straight up.
In May of 2004, when their singer decided to quit due to a lack of interest in death metal, the remaining Verminians had to go after a suitable replacement; it didn''t take all that long before Laurens was found and recruited.
A few months later, in October 2004, Vermin hit the Excess studios in Rotterdam, The Netherlands (a well known place to record at in death metal circles) in order to lay down 16 tracks, thus paving the way for yet another release, bearing the title "A Nihilistic Swarm". A long awaited one this time!! Since both "Alea" and "Solypsis" had received good reviews musically but less than outstanding ones when their productional aspects were taken into consideration, extra time and effort was spent in that department. "A Nihilistic Swarm" also contains bonus videos: a brand new clip and footage of the recording sessions at Excess.
All the pieces of the puzzle began to fall into place as Vermin headed into the year 2006. The band has signed a deal with Deity Down Records (a brand new indie label that means business), the album is ready to take on the world and was released on May 20 of this year. A live gig in a CD store of all places marked “A Nihilistic Swarm”’s launch. The band hit the stage at the Luckau, Germany based “Fuck The Commerce” festival on May 26, thus sharing the stage with the likes of Extreme Noise Terror, Hate Eternal, Gut and Embedded.
