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), who is the actual sessiondrummer for DISTASTE.
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 relesed on REFUSED RECORDS (aut) at the end of November 2009.
Also in October 2009 ex-session-bassplayer PHIL entered the ship again. This time as a fully integrated member.
A split 7" with our "lil..Bros in grind", furious SIX-SCORE is planned for Spring 2010.
Stay tuned,
in grind we trust
