Damaged formed in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia 1989.
Best know in the early to mid 90's for their intense shows, Matt "Skitz" Sanders built a reputation as an extremely fast drummer.
Often Referred to as "Hatecore" , Damaged blended Death Metal, Grindcore and Hardcore elements into their own style and sound. In the vein of Pantera
on Steroids.
The most impressionable or classic line up featured: Matt "Skitz" Sanders - Drums, James Ludbrook - Vocals, Chris "Hilly" Hill - Guitar, James "Mohawk"
Parker - Bass, Mat Silcock - Guitar. James had a very unique angry shouting style of vocal.

Damaged formed in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia 1989.
Best know in the early to mid 90's for their intense shows, Matt "Skitz" Sanders built a reputation as an extremely fast drummer.

Parker - Bass, Mat Silcock - Guitar. James had a very unique angry shouting style of vocal.
The band had gathered a reputation as hard hitters in not only the Melbourne metal scene but Australia wide.
The bands live intensity didn't quite translate to recordings, "Do Not Spit" being their first album released on Black Hole recordings was none the less a
testament to their ferocity.
During Fear Factory's first tour to Australia, Damaged we're seen to sonically destroy the Melbourne venue, The Sarah Sands Hotel, while playing the ceiling
began to crumble and shed debris as Damaged spat out their own brand of Hatecore.
The band suffered many line-up changes in the following years.
Kevin Sharp (ex-Brutal Truth) joined Damaged as vocalist in 1999, he featured on their Purified in Pain album, released on the Rotten Records label.
During the mid 2000's Jamie Ludbrook and Skitz would team up again briefly in the band Walk The Earth, this did not last long.
Later both would emerge in Terrorust, again this combination of the two together did not last. « hide |
