No. They split up immediately after Metal for the Brain in 2000. Three members now have a new band called Brace featuring the keyboard player from Nazxul (!!)

They split up in 97. Two of the guys joined Mortal Sin and another joined Nazxul.

 

[NeXTLiFE]

Ahhh, ok, tell me more about Nazxul...i see from your previous reply they also have keys (I'm a sucker for good keys).. I've never heard of 'em tho.

 

[Goreripper]

Nazxul is one of the best black metal bands ever. Try and track down a copy of their EP 'Black Seed' from somewhere. It makes most of the Scandinavian bands sound like they're kids mucking around with a Casio and a ukulele.

Might be easier said than done by the looks, but i'll keep my eyes and ears open. LMAO @ "Casio and a ukulele". Thanks mate.
Oh, and your Australian Metal Guide makes damn interesting reading, thanks for that too!

 

[Goreripper]

There's a story featuring Nazxul in this month's Ralph. It's funny.

 

[Dark Inspirations]

faves include:

Abyssic Hate
Destroyer 666
Lycanthia
Secratain
Dungeon
Abortus
Anatomy
Sadistik Exekution
Modus Vivendi
Anarazel
Astriaal
Volatile (RIP)

 

[Metalogical]

Infernal Method, Stargazer, Samsara's Wounds, Chalice, and Hobb's Angel of Death. (Just for being the only bands in Australia that incorporate extreme technicality whilst remaining atmospheric/dark/emotional)

 

[Gestalt]

My favourites would be dISEMBOWELMENT and Nazxul. Excruciate and Psycroptic show considerable promise.
