Wes Prince (guitar) and Roddy Carlson (drums) had been key members of early Auckland punks The Sloth Creatures; Nigel Russell (vocals/synth) had been in the pop-punk band The Spelling Mistakes; while bass player Ralph Crump came from West Auckland band Buster Keys. With a sound similar to Joy Division and The Cure, they were signed to Reaction Records, and released the 12-inch EP Between The Lines in December 1981, enjoying six weeks in the charts and peaking at #15. The EP was also released in Britain and Australia. Recording sessions for their 1982 mini-album Last Request were fraught with rising tensions within the group and they split two months before its release. The band did reunite for a one-off Auckland show in July 22nd 2005 to support the release of Between The Lines (the CD reissue of the band's two vinyl releases); 4) A Gothic Metal/Rock band from Diest, Belgium formed by lead singer Gunther Theys of Ancient Rites;. The same band is now called Satyrian; 5) Gothic/Deathrock band from Germany released one known LP in 1991 "Bad But Not Bad"; 6) French Goth band released one 12"(1983) "six tracks of mostly improvised experimental sonorities oscillating between Bauhaus, Public Image Limited and Christian Death."; 7) A psychedelic trance act; and 8) A japanese metal/hardcore band that released their first album in 1991. At first they where very influenced by the sound and image of horror punk bands like The Misfits and Samhain, during that time they released a self-titled EP on 1988. The sound of the band evolved later into a more heavy metal act and finally on their 1995 album release included elements of death metal. 9) One of the manny new beat names of Morton, Sherman, Bellucci crew.
