Nasum
From Free net encyclopedia
Nasum is a Swedish political grindcore band that was formed in 1992 by Anders Jakobson (guitar) and Rickard Alriksson (drums/vocals), two former members of the goregrind band Necrony. Two weeks before their first recording they added Mieszko Talarczyk as a guitarist. The tracks they recorded at this time were latter released on the split 7" with Agathocles. Early on they were featured on a four way split MCD with Retaliation, Clotted Symmetric Sexual Organ, and Vivisection. They released the demos Industrislaven and World in Turmoil before being signed to Relapse Records in 1997 and releasing their first full-length album Inhale/Exhale as a two member band (Alriksson had left the band, and Jakobson took over on drums). This album clearly showed a crust punk influence. They later added a third member, Jesper Liverod, to the group so that they could tour with both a bassist and a gutarist, and released the album Human 2.0 (Human 2.01 in Japan) in 2000. There have been some recent line up changes to the band which now includes a member of the grindcore/goregrind band Regurgitate, and they have released their third full-length album Helvete (which basically means hell in Swedish). Both Helvete and Human 2.0 show a change in direction away from the more crust oriented sound that they had on Inhale/Exhale, and towards a much cleaner, technical, and pure grindcore sound.
Their lead singer, Mieszko Talarczyk has been reported missing as a result of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. On February 17th 2005 it was confirmed that his body has been identified, and that he died as a result of the Tsunami Disaster on December 26th. The band has therefore decided to break up.
On December 17th 2005, six demo tracks from the remaining member's yet unnamed post-Nasum project (currently known as Ex-Nasum) were made available for anyone to download from Nasum's homepage.
