Onanizer

About Onanizer

All started some time in autumn 1996, when five of us got together with an intention to play extremely blasting, yet melodic music. __/'1996'/__ In early autumn, based in the western part of the Czech Republic nearby Cheb, five of us, Koller(vox), Mesy(vox), Karel(guitar), Tomas((expired link).) and Rezy(drums) start playing together as FATAL CATALEPSY. __/'1997'/__ 22.2. in Tachov we play alongside FLESHLESS, PANDEMIA & INGROWING our first gig. After the second one a week later, we change the name to ONANIZER. Especially thanks to PANDEMIA, we had a chance to play a bunch of very decent shows at that time. Though to get through wasn't easy, as there was no grindcore audience in this region at all. We do self-release of a video tape with some this year's gigs. __/'1998'/__ April is the time to enter Prague's Hostivar Studio and to record our debut "Ansikte Mot Ansikte", later released on MC by ukrainian DAC Prod. From this recordings were also used some tracks for 7" EP split w/ CAUSE OF EFFECT (Machismo Prod., Australia). We are guests in local radio Egrensis. More gigs are coming, first open air's, but also a sad event, when on 29.7. our bassist Tom chose to get out of this world. __/'1999'/__ We carry on without bass. In summer there were festivals like Fekal Party II. in Prague
