Asphyx is a Dutch death metal band that incorporates doom metal and thrash metal 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 Baghus left the band as well. He was replaced by Sander van Hoof.
The self-titled album was released in 1994 and led to the band’s demise in 1995.
In 1995 Loomans and Baghus reformed Asphyx and recorded the 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 Baghus and Daniels and together with Pentacle singer and bassist Wannes Gubbles they recorded the Feeding on Angels album.

considering 90% of The Rack and probably about 40% of Last One On Earth were wrote without him, i'd say he doesn't really count as a founding member. not that i have anything against him obviously.

I pretty much consider Van Drunen a founding member at this point, so that doesn't have as much pertinence to quality as you think ;)

to be honest, considering the only member they have of the original line up is their drummer, the new tracks are far better than what i'd expect. had the same response with Death... The Brutal Way so i shouldn't be surprised, but goddamn the two new tracks kick ass.
