Distaste was founded in fall 2000 by Stefan Lenz and Armin Schweiger, and started as a quite bad deathgrind ripoff. It usually was meant as a side- project.
In 2001 Stefan and Armin recorded their first demo "political pathology", including 8 really sick deathgrind songs with a fucked up sound.
Some additional members joined and left DISTASTE throughout the years, and gigs after gigs (in the beginning only in austria) followed.
After 3 years of fun and stupidity, they decided to turn DISTASTE into something serious. Their sound now was more influenced by bands like NASUM, ROTTEN SOUND, etc...
Many gigs in Germany and in the east of europe followed, having PHIL of THE MENACE helping out on bass. They recorded their first "full length" (OF ABYSS HEARTS AND FALSITY) in 2007, containing 14 tracks of power, hate and aggression. It..s released since may 2009.
After Phil quit due to private reasons somewhere in 2007, FURTY took over the role on bass. Now that the final line-up was set, DISTASTE were polluting club by club, as much as possible. Fresh, new material for diverse split-7"/cd..s has been written already.
In the end of 2008 LENZ decided to quit playing drums, and the search for a new drummer did not end yet.
DISTASTE headed for a minitour over eastern- europe in March 2009, followed by a two week- tour over southern- and eastern- europe in April/May 2009. Drums on the 2nd tour were performed by LUKAS HAIDINGER (ULTRAWURSCHT, aut/ger).
In October 2009 they headed SoundspurRecords-Studio again, to record 7 songs for s Split-CD with the austrian sicko-grinders BASTARD PEELS, which is going to be released on REFUSED RECORDS (aut) in January 2010.
Also in October 2009 ex-session-bassplayer PHIL entered the ship again. This time as a fully integrated member.
In november DISTASTE decided for liveshows, to put Armin from the guit/vox position to the drums/vox position, because no drummer was found yet.
NEWS: Armin has to go to Kuwait for 3 years, that means , to perform shows will be very hard. Armin will be in Austria for two months every year. We..ll try to fill this 2 months with shows as hell. (for allpromoters/ bookers: We..ll keep you up with every information here on myspace!)
In the rest of this time we..ll continue writing songs, 2 full-lengths will be released.
Stay tuned,
in grind we trust
