NEWS!!!!!!!! 4/23/08
After taking the last few months off we are now practicing again and have some news. we have a few member changes, Mary and Ken have moved on. we'd like to wish them both well and thank them for their time and contributions, especially Mary who has spent the last six years with us. Lucky for us, our original Bassist, Matt Sachs, has agreed to step back in and play bass again and we have begun practicing with him and writing new material. we are currently working on two new releases, a split LP/CD with Born/Dead and a split LP/CD with UNCURBED. we will post more news as we create some.
Pittsburgh's BEHIND ENEMY LINES was formed by Dave Trenga, Matt Garabedian (both ex-Aus Rotten), Matt Sachs (ex-Devastation) and Bill Chamberlain (ex-React / The Pist) in late 2000 after Aus Rotten's demise. Thematically picking up where Aus Rotten left off, BEHIND ENEMY LINES offers even greater urgency fueled by their utter contempt for today's rotting political infrastructure and the ill-gotten spoils of war at the expense of humanity.
Venturing into far heavier realms than Aus Rotten ever did, BEHIND ENEMY LINES fuses the best elements of punk and old-school metal into brief yet undeniably powerful bursts of sonic anger. Drawing inspiration from bands such as Conflict, Crass, Icons of Filth, Discharge, Motorhead, and Amebix, among others, BEHIND ENEMY LINES worked relentlessly to write and record what evolved into their first release, "Know Your Enemy", released through Tribal War Records in 2002. However, soon after its completion, BEHIND ENEMY LINES faced the loss of bassist Matt Sachs, who relocated to New England. Rather than lose momentum, BEHIND ENEMY LINES recruited bassist Mary Bielich and guitarist Matt Tuite, known for their work with Iron City's doom metal veterans Penance, to fill the vacant spot as well as adding a second guitar to the mix.
Soon the newly-revamped BEHIND ENEMY LINES began writing what would evolve into their second release. Recorded in the Spring of 2003, literally as the invasion of Iraq commenced, "The Global Cannibal" is a call to arms for those who are disgusted by the current political travesty inflicted upon the nation by George W. Bush and his cohorts. Most importantly, this release serves as a poignant contemporary commentary on the problems facing both the United States and the world on many levels. From religious zealotry to oil-fueled murder in the name of "terrorist cleansing", "The Global Cannibal" leaves no stone unturned, an ugly yet realistic soundtrack to a self-inflicted apocalypse.
