BIOGRAPHY
The band was formed during the
year 1991 in Bordeaux (France) under the DROWNED monicker.
The line-up was :
Laurent : Drums / Romain : Guitars / Phil : Guitars & Bass / Pascal
: Ripping Vocals / Stéph : Sepulchral Vocals
In May 1992, DROWNED entered the studio to record
their 3 songs demo.
The same year, the band decided to change the name to DISABLED.
The demo got re-released with a new artwork, as well as a new logo.
Still in 1992, Pascal chose to focus on bass and Stéph became
the only vocalist.
After a little while, Romain decided to leave the band. DISABLED was
now looking for a new guitar player.
Eric joined the band and their Death Metal got even more brutal.
DISABLED entered the studio again in November
1993, just after Phil's departure.
The line-up was :
Laurent : Drums / Eric : Guitars / Pascal : Bass / Stéph : Vocals
The second demo is called "The Fall of Christ". It has an
intro created by Ludo "Evil" and 5 other songs, including
the (in)famous "Green Flesh Messiah" that will stick to the
band until the end!
During autumn 1995, a new recording session is
planned.
The quartet released its third demo entitled "Here lies your God".
The demo has 3 songs, among which 2 were sent on a promo tape to a few
labels.
More than 700 copies of the "Here lies your God" demo got
sold and it allowed the band to sign a deal with French label CRAZINESS
MUSIX for a 5 songs CD.
In 1997, the MCD called "Faith Ablation"
was finally available!
It features an eerie intro along with 5 tracks.
During the following months, a new song was composed,
"Doomed to Extinction" but it has never been recorded in studio,
like some other older tracks such as
"The Fall of Christ", "Theatre of the Absurd", "Disabled",
"Crucifixion of the Gods" from 1992, "Here Lies your
God" from 1993,
"Ultimate Desecration", "Enslaved in the Maze of Darkness",
"The Eagle of Eli" from 1995 and "Child Abuse" from
1996.
In 1998, after seven
years of sonic violence, the Green Flesh Messiah dismembered DISABLED
and sent his disciples
Stéph, Eric, Pascal and Laurent to the 90's French Death Metal
cemetery.
During those years, DISABLED had the opportunity
to play different venues in France, Belgium and Germany
with acts like SINISTER, MORBID ANGEL, CARCASS, BLOOD, DAWN (Germany),
AGATHOCLES, BLASPHEREION, B.A.R.F.,
AGRESSOR, LOUDBLAST, MERCYLESS, CRUSHER and a lot of other underground
bands.
