Grim music was formed early 2006. Our purpose is to organise gigs and festivals for, and to promote and manage metal and hard rock bands in SA and to help them get their music heard and to achieve success. We are set on doing whatever we can to help heavy metal and rock grow in South Africa and to help it get the recognition it so rightfully deserve.
We recorded and produced the Warthane album "Black Wings of Sorrow' at the Squarewaves Studio during the last week of September 2006. It has been received very positively by Warthane fans.
WARTHANE will start recording their next EP on Wednesday, 12 September 2007.

Warthane was started in 2004 by Sean Gouws and operate from Alberton, South Africa. Sean was heavily influenced by thrash bands such as Kreator, Sodom, and Destruction, and he brought these influences to the band. The band started with a very strong sense of where they would be heading. Warthane recorded their first album "Black Wings of Sorrow" in September 2006. Until this time Sean was the only band member contributing to the music and lyric writing for the band. His strong thrash influences and background is very evident in Warthane’s music until this time.
Soon after this recording, Nazar Berezovsky, Gavin Hockly and Dieter Engel joined Warthane on guitar, drums and bass respectively, bringing with them a strong black and death metal influence and joined in the music writing. Warthane’s sound can now be described as fast progressive thrash metal, laced with melodic death and black metal. Their sound is very unique in South Africa and that, combined with the band members' larger than life stage personalities and energy, have fans and supporters headbanging and moshing every time they take to the stage.
Warthane thrive on excellence and continuously strive to better themselves, their music and their live performances. One of South Africa's hardest gigging metal bands, Warthane have gigged extensively throughout South Africa during 2006 and 2007 and will continue to do so. Warthane have played most of the larger metal festivals in South Africa such as Mother Fudd (x3), the Summoning (x2), Grimfest (x2), From the Dark Metal Fest (x2), Sun to Moon (x1) and also non metal festivals such as Seasons Wither(x2), Bellsfest, the Youth Festival, etc. The quality of Warthane’s music and their live performances has turned many a metal supporter into Warthane fans. This has resulted in the Warthane fan base doubling in size a few times over the past year.
Warthane have just released their second recording, the EP "Day 13" and so far have received very positive feedback on it.

SacriFist is a five-piece band from Johannesburg in South Africa, who have been active in the metal scene for over 15 years, creating their own brand of Melodic Death Metal. Over the years the band has seen lineup changes with some members leaving to follow their own paths and others returning with new ideas and skills, but the present line up of Sammy, Byron, Dwayne, Shaun and Michael has taken the band to new creative levels.
With 3 full albums in their discography they are planning to release their 4th towards the middle of 2007, which promises to be the best SacriFist album so far!
Their powerful melodic death metal has kept their original fans loyal for many years and is constantly gathering an increasing number of new fans. Their songs online have had over a thousand downloads.
