Vermin
(NL), Brutal Technical Death
With Deity
Down Records 2006-Present
BIOGRAPHY:
Founded in April of 2002 in Breda, Netherlands, Vermin is a Deathmetal band
that has gained a reputation through numerous gigs and a machine-like live
presentation. The band intertwines USDM with progressive and old school
elements in which blast beats are frequently interspersed with heavy grooves .
The band went through several personnel changes and
produced two demos while solidifying its line-up. The recording sessions for
Vermin’s debut full-length ‘A Nihilistic Swarm’ (an album that was released by
Deity Down Records in the following year and harvested many favorable reviews
in the international press) began in 2005.
Subsequently the band’s already impressive live schedule
kicked into a higher gear. Despite the lack of a permanent bassist, Vermin’s
appearance at the 2006 edition of Germany’s Fuck The Commerce Fest, followed by
a Portuguese minitour by the end of the same year and a European tour in 2007
reinforced the band’s reputation as a refined live machine even more.
In 2008, now with a permanent bass player, Vermin
deliberately ceased its live activities (except for one try-out gig in late
November) in order to fully focus on writing a new record. In between November
of 2008 and the beginning of the recording sessions for the ‘Define : Divine’
album in June of 2009, Vermin’s only live show was an exclusive headlining
appearance at Groesbeek, Netherlands’ ‘To Hell Fest V’.
Vermin supported the ‘Define : Divine’ album release
(Deity Down Records, September 2009) with a number of shows on which they had
invited Murder Therapy, (then) their Italian label mates. The stress suffered
by Vermin during the two preceeding years, however, did take its toll.
With only one remaining original member, Vermin’s 2010
line-up has been substantially overhauled. Currently the band is ready to take
the stages by storm again, even though now there is a provisional ‘industrial’
touch to it all due to the vacancy that still exists: Vermin uses digital drums
until a suitable drummer has been recruited.
Vermin consists of the following members:
Ron
Vermunt (guitars)
Joey
Veerbeek (bass)
Bram
Glaser (vocals) ? (drums)
