Biography

(1987 – 1995, 1999 – 2000, 2007 – present)

Asphyx is a Dutch band that incorporates and elements into their music.

The band was formed in 1987 by Bob Bagchus and Tonny Brookhuis. Eric Daniels was found as a second guitarist and Chuck Colli joined on vocals and bass; this combo released the “Enter The Domain” demo.

In March 1989 Colli was replaced by Theo Loomans and they recorded the “Crush The Cenotaph” demo. Brookhuis then left the band and the remaining three recorded “Embrace the Death” album which was never released due to label problems.

After Martin van Drunen left Pestilence in the early 1990s, he joined Asphyx and the band signed to Century Media Records. After the release of their debut album “The Rack”, they went on a European tour with Entombed, followed by a tour with Bolt Thrower and Benediction in 1992. Shortly after the recording of the second album “Last One On Earth” Van Drunen left the band, to be replaced by Ron van der Pol. Eventually Bagchus left the band as well. He was replaced by Sander van Hoof.

The self-titled “Asphyx” album was released in 1994 and led to the band’s demise in 1995.

In 1995 Loomans and Baghus reformed Asphyx and recorded “God Cries”. Around the same time also the Embrace the Death album was released. Nevertheless the band split up again after the release. In 1997 Soulburn was founded by Bagchus and Daniels and together with Pentacle singer and bassist Wannes Gubbles they recorded the “Feeding On Angels” album.

In 1999 they renamed the project into Asphyx and recorded the “On The Wings Of Inferno” album with the same lineup. However, Asphyx disbanded again in 2000.

    Asphyx is really i mean great band and sometimes i think that they are really underrated.They should be known more and appreciated more.There is a quite awesome extreme metal scene in Netherlands and there are amazing bands like Asphyx,Gorefest,Sinister,Pestilence,Legion Of The Damned,Severe Torture,God Dethroned in Netherland's metal scene but there is an issue that concerns and annoys me a lot i want to mention about it.Why the hell Netherlands's metal scene is only remembered and known for female fronted symphonic metal bands? I really noticed that most of the people only listen symphonic female fronted metal shit stuff from Netherlands and they do not have any idea about that bands which i said above.I mean Netherlands's metal scene mostly remembered and known for Within Temptation and Epica.That is bullshit.And there is an injustice towards to Asphyx,Severe Torture,Sinister etc.Therefore, in my opinion that is unacceptable.[2]

    Vocals so poor, like frogs in a moor. Guitars like clouds of fruit flies. Where's the bass sound, drums that don't pound. Hear how our Iron Church dies. They don't give a fuck, just collecting bucks. Acting like statues on stage. Our final call to all those false. We summon thou bastards to rage! Deathhammer!
