Axegrinder
Initially a metallic crust punk band formed 1985/86 by Trev and Matt (members of Stone The Crowz) and Jel and Steve Alton (both in The Proudhons). Early on known as Tyrants of Hate, the band changed their name to Axegrinder in 1986. Their crust/thrash style was influenced by Amebix, but has also been compared to both Motörhead and Venom.

In 1987, after the demo, drummer Jel left and was replaced by Darryn for the cassette recording. The band then signed with Peaceville, off the back of there Squat Tape demo, where they released the track 'Where Evil Dwells' on the compilation, and then recorded . Axegrinder also contributed two tracks to the compilation VHS, 'Evilution' and (new song) 'Requi-Anthem', both filmed at Queens Hall, Bradford, 1990, by which time Cliff Evans had joined the band.

Axegrinder folded in 1991. While Evans formed death metal band Flesh sometime later, the other four members promptly formed Voivod-clones Wartech.
