Villains
Biography
Villains draws its influence from the grizzled pathos of their home, New York City: The huddled homeless crazies; the oblivious alcoholics tracing their steps through the piss-soaked alleys; the relentless march of time marked by trains, buses and cabs. This everyday mania empowers the screams, cries and sardonic laughter of Villains. Behold, as their musically carnivorous thrash hatred is unharnessed, slashing wildly against the defeatist.
Their debut full length, 'Drenched In The Poisons' conjures up the danger and proud unholy spirit of early metal and acid punk. A vomitous fornication unto the whiskey whores and foul souls passing out in the dark. These eight aural lashes come at the listener criminally intoxicated and definitely not nice. Live on stage, the quintet is aggressive, physical and dangerous.
Witchwhipper recorded their debut 7 inch, Rampage and Ruin, and promptly joined on drums. After recording their debut LP 'Drenched In the Poisons', Nightstriker joined on bass.
