1. Grendel is a harsh ebm artist from Netherlands. They started out in 1997 under a different name, but due to the band splitting up the name was changed into the current one. VLRK continued under the name Grendel, which originates from a character from the old Anglo-Saxon tale ‘Beowulf’.

In 2000 Grendel’s first promo CD was released which included the Dutch dance floor hit ‘Strangers’. Within a very short period of time the promo was being played at many locations throughout the Netherlands and internationally.

To follow this up, the “End of Ages EP” was released in 2002 and marked new territory for Grendel with tracks such as the international hit title-track “End of Ages”, the pounding “Catastrophe” and the intriguing “Noisome”. With the unorthodox and original use of orchestration, obscure samples incorporated with harsh and pounding EBM structures this release again recieved almost only great reactions from both the media and listeners and would set Grendel’s sound for the future.

    With Timewave Zero leaving me unsatisfied, are there any other bands with a similar sound to Harsh Generation? I've looked around pretty thoroughly but nothing seems to compare. (Maybe I'm just picky)

    If only Grendel had made "Timewave : Zero" in 90s.. They'd be right there with E-Type, Captain Jack etc.

    Maybe this video is a tribute for Troma Studio? I hope that is not serious but it's look like the best candidate for Razzies Awards...

    My words about the video would be qualified to a banishment from shouting.

    Erh... the "video" was... 'weird'. Even for a liberal person like me the video of Timewave Zero is nearly nowhere related with the theme/sounding of the song itself. Personally, I expected a more conceptual and serious video, something related with 2012 and the Timewave Zero theory. The video itself contains a lot of amateur montage and camera mistakes, not speaking even of any "scenario". In m opinion the title song of the album deserved a deeper and more expensive production.

    Timewave Zero just sounded like a watered-down, clubbier Harsh Generation. Then Deep Waters started and i hit the skip button. [2]
