Cripple Bastards is a grindcore band from Asti, Italy. They were formed in 1988 in order to keep their area on the hardcore map as most of the other bands around them were breaking up. ==Biography== They were formed by vocalist Giulio the Bastard and guitarist Alberto the Crippler. They were initially a metal-influenced punk band called Grimcorpses. However, they were not satisfied with their music and soon decided to make their style more extreme, which was accompanied by a name change. They combined hardcore and metal influences with grindcore, but still managed to sound different from many other grindcore bands at the time. Their first demo shares the tape with two other bands, which also include members of Cripple Bastards. A few more tracks and demos were recorded after this. The band also played various venues including their first ever international concert in Croatia. By 1994, the band had drafted bassist Eduardo. The following year the band released their first full length album, ''Your Lies In Check'' and drummer Paolo joined the band shortly after. Shortly after their debut album was released, Eduardo left the band and was replaced by Stefano, who was in the same band as Paolo. However both Paolo and Stefano soon departed, leaving the band with only two members once again. As the years went by, the band made numerous changes in personnel. The band released ''Misantropo a Senso Unico'' in 2000, which was placed at number 6 in ''Terrorizers list of essential European grindcore albums, with deputy editor James Hoare describing it as "primitive, punk, pummelling and most importantly given their self-dubbed 'controversial hategrind', genuinely dangerous."〔Hoare, James (2009). "Essential Albums|Europe", ''Terrorizer Magazine'' 180, p. 55.〕 This album went in an even more uncompromising direction and was also the last album to feature Alberto the Crippler on guitar. However, members were replaced and the band formed its most stable line-up. In 2003, the band released ''Desperately Insensitive'', which had a 'cleaner' sound. Over the years they have played over 300 shows, many of which were included on three full-length tours (in Europe 2000, the US East Coast 2002 and the US West Coast 2003), as well as several international festivals, including Fuck the Commerce in Germany in 2001,〔(Official Fuck the Commerce website )〕 Obscene Extreme in the Czech Republic in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2006 and 2010,〔(Official Obscene Extreme website )〕 Maryland Deathfest in the USA in 2007 and 2011.,〔(Official Maryland Deathfest website )〕 Brutal Assault in Czech Republic (2009) and Neurotic Deathfest in the Netherlands in 2011. They have shared the stage with bands, such as Brujeria, Napalm Death, Dismember, Suffocation, Pungent Stench, Brutal Truth, Nasum, Ratos de Porão, Extreme Noise Terror, Varukers and Chaos UK.〔(Biography at Official Cripple Bastards Website )〕 On 9th September 2014, after 15 years, Cripple Bastards parted ways with drummer Al Mazzotti. The new drummer is Raphael Saini (ex-Iced Earth, ex-Corpse Fucking Art, Chaoswave and a touring member of other bands like Master and Abomination). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cripple Bastards」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
