One of Holland's low gear death metal bands, Asphyx was formed in 1987 by then-Pestilence mainman Martin Van Drunen (vocals/bass), with Eric Daniels (guitar) and Bob Bagchus (drums). After a handful of demos to close out the '90s, Asphyx signed with Century Media Records and proceeded to expiration a steady flowing of albums and EPs, including 1990's Mutilating Process EP, 1991's
The Rack, 1992's
Jam the Cenotaph EP, and 1993's
Last One on Earth. None of these came anywhere near to breakage the isthmus out of the last alloy tube, however, and the dissatisfied members of Asphyx chose to split up around this time. Van Drunen temporarily joined (merely never recorded with) England's Bolt Thrower and got involved with a routine of other projects, but Daniels byword fit to record one final eponymous Asphyx record album (with vocalist/bassist Ron Van Pol and drummer Sander Van Hoof) before connection Bagchus in a novel lot called Soulburn. Strangely, the latter would then "return the party favour," when he formed a new adaptation of Asphyx (with vocalist/bassist Theo Loomans and guitar player Ronny Van Der Wey) and recorded 1996's
Graven image Cries. Stranger still, Daniels was and then invited back to perform on the same year's Embrace the Death, later on which Asphyx was officially set to rest (no, really!). That is, until the yr 2000, when the aforementioned Soulburn (consisting of Daniels, Bagchus, and vocalist/bassist Wannes Gubbels) figured "what the blaze" and proceeded to expiration their modish record album, On the Wings of Inferno, under the older Asphyx streamer.
