ENGINE OF PAIN is a new metalband from the South of the Netherlands. The band is founded in May, 2003. Main influences are thrash alike; think about Pantera, Slayer, early-days-Metallica, you know. ENGINE OF PAIN is basically formed by Maurice Brouwers (also playing bass in the band Angels Decay and Triple 7) and Patrick Waltmans (playing guitar in Angels Decay and ex-Fifth). From the beginning it was clear that the music should be groovy but very heavy. Few weeks later Patrick and Maurice decided to ask ex-Form/ex-Fifth grunter Nick Hameury, if he'd like to join the new band; fortunately he said yes! If you are talking about grunting; now mr. Grunt was in! Maurice checked if his Triple7 bandmate Joep Beckers (ex-After Forever) was interested to do the drums. Joep is a very good double-bass-rhythm-machine; he completed the band. From the moment Joep joined in, a bandname was found: ENGINE OF PAIN. Several months after Engine of Pain was founded, Nick encountered Ruud Bänzinger (current guitarist of death-metalband Defcon One). Because the sound of the band would only improve, Nick put out some metal-feelers if Ruud was interested to reinforce Engine of Pain. It took only one (drunk) visit at our rehearsal-cage to convince Ruud to participate. « Minder
