Bio:

(Some History..) SOUTHWICKED: Dr. Alfred P. Southwick (1826 - 1898), was a dentist from Buffalo, New York. He is credited with inventing the first electric chair as a method of execution. The Electric Chair In 1881, Dr. Alfred Southwick witnessed an intoxicated man touch a live electric generator. Given that the man died so quickly, Dr. Southwick concluded that electricity could be used as an alternative to hanging for executions. As Southwick was a dentist who was accustomed to performing procedures on subjects in chairs, his device for electrical execution appeared in the form of an "electric chair." Dr. Southwick worked with David B. Hill, the governor of New York State to help pass laws making execution by electricity legal. Southwick also served on the state's Electrical Death Commission which between 1888 and 1889 recommended that electrocution be made a valid form of Capital Punishment. The first law allowing the use of electrocution went into effect January 1, 1889. On August 6, 1890, William Kemmler was executed by electrocution. Southwick was present and is reported to have said "There is the culmination of ten years work and study! We live in a higher civilization from this day.”

OBITUARY, MASSACRE, SIX FEET UNDER
LOWBROW, SHATTERED SKULL, LUSTMORD (California Death Metal), SLOTH FRENZY, EXTERMINATOR, BLOODHAVEN, KULT OF THORN..

It actually all started when Allen West and Marco Vreven on the Lowbrow 'Buried in Europe' Tour decided to start a new band,and a couple of months later we were working on some songs and recorded a demotape in the Red Room Studio's in Ybor City.It's still unfinished but the songs on the profile allready give you an appetizer about which direction we want to go out with our music. Rock Rollain (Kult of Thorn) joined our forces and he placed some mighty fine Basslines on our songs. We asked Sven Poets from Shattered Skull to join our forces. And Southwicked's lineup is now complete. ..SouthWicked
