Netherlands (2000 – present)
There is more than one artist with this name. 1 - an harsh ebm artist from Netherlands, 2 - a Finnish melodic death metal band, 3 - a Polish progressive rock band, 4 - a black metal band from Italy, 5 - a black metal band from the UK, 6 - a power metal band from Spain, 7 - a black metal band from Germany, 8 - a split-up folk metal band from Estonia.
1 - Grendel is an 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 to the current one. The name Grendel originates from a character in the epic poem ‘Beowulf’.
In the early part of 2000 the 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 (a.o. in Germany, Belgium and Spain). Soon after this, Grendel started receiving requests for live gigs and (live synthesis & engineering) joined the band. Half a year later the first demo CD was released entitled ‘Inhumane Amusement’. This demo caught the ear of the German record label NoiTekk (a sub-division of Black Rain records), which convinced the label to such an extent that they signed Grendel immediately.

Well, its not their old style but its quite good. I really enjoy "Shortwired" and "Chemicals.." by contrast with "Seratonic Rush". The Shortwired (Synthetic Dream Foundation Remix) is very good even better than the original song. I hope the new album will darkER electro with some trance elements. "Harsh Generation" is the best album so far.. every single song and even sound from it is made by God's Hand :)

@Rataii: All the lyrics definitely relate to the pros and cons of psychoactive chemical use. Wouldn't say you necessarily need any experience with this to enjoy the EP though lol ;)

The new EP is very awesome , though it's a very different side of Grendel from "Harsh Generation" , it's still nevertheless worth listening to imho .

For those of you who have been complaining here; Don't worry guys. I have huge respect for my fans and am truly thankful for all the support you've given over the years. There's no way in hell that I would want to totally verge away from the sound that you all love so much. I just wanted to try out some new directions and ideas with the EP (which I knew would be a bit of a risk), so please enjoy it for what it is. The full length album will be the true follow up to the "Harsh Generation" release and be a perfect balance between new & old strengths, leaning on the harder/acidic sounds of course.

Have to say I like the new EP, though maybe it should (as Govno said) been released under a different name. It's just so different to Grendel as it has been. Still, I love this (just as I've loved pretty much every Grendel elease I've heard) and I'm eager to hear the new album when it's out! And if I had the money I would definitely be going to see the Sheffield performance. Grendel *and* AP? Sounds better than sex.

Loving the new EP - I got into Grendel when they released the End of Ages EP, which was far more mellow and less "terror EBM" than their later stuff (which is good, don't get me wrong) and this new material reminds me a lot of that EP in some ways. I'll be intrigued to see what the album is like!

New EP sounds like eurotrance with structure of electro song. I can no longer hear harsh elements in it. Its not bad music, yes it sounds more popish but that always dont have to be bad thing. Lets see how will EP turn up.
