!T.O.O.H.!

!T.O.O.H.! (The Obliteration Of Humankind) were a "deathgrind" band from the great Czech Republic. In their infancy, they were sort of a straight-ahead death metal group, in the sense that their lyrics revolved mainly around gore (like most Brutal Death Metal Groups). Later on, as the band matured, their lyrics picked up focus moreso on politics than anything else. The band managed to release 3 LPs before disintegrating, woefully at the hands of their label Earache Records (who dropped them a couple of months after the release of their album, which financially devastated them).

!T.O.O.H.! has a very distinctive sound that's difficult for me to describe--but every single time I listen to them, I enjoy them immensely. If you're relatively interested in grindcore, death metal (Death, Cynic, so on and so forth), or Eastern-European Metal bands in general, check this out:

From Higher Will (first record)
Pod Vlaudou Bice
