Luleå turns out to be a perfect place to develop the ultra-raw but still melodic hardcore/ deathrock that has become the signum of Breach, and frankly they got absolutely nothing else to do then put all energy in to the band (not counting suicide or ice-hockey as serious options).

Noisy and furious somewhere between the tribal angst-filled sound of Neurosis and Tortoise. Luleå, Sweden 1993: The local punkband Superdong split up. A lot of people couldn’t care less. Now we know better. One half of Superdong quickly forms Fireside, and the other half becomes Breach.
Luleå turns out to be a perfect place to develop the ultra-raw but still melodic hardcore/ deathrock that has become the signum of Breach, and frankly they got absolutely nothing else to do then put all energy in to the band (not counting suicide or ice-hockey as serious options). Breach appear on a few compilation albums and put out their first MCD “Outlines” on Burning Heart Records.
During the spring of 1995 the full length debut “Friction” is recorded at Sunlight Studios in Stockholm, Sweden. Fred Estby of Dismember is engineering and producing together with Breach. Sunlight turns Breach debut album into pure dynamite. When it is released in August 1995 it is definitely one of the heaviest albums released that year.
In January and February 1997 their 2nd full length album is recorded. It is titled “It´s Me God” and gets released on Burning Heart Records late April. It´s Me God is recorded, mixed and produced by Pelle Gunnerfeldt. The music takes a small step away from metal and follows the direction started on the EP “Old Songs & New Beats” (1996, Burning Heart Records), with a more laborious sound with a stronger Unsane / Neurosis kind of perspective on their musical existence. It ends up somewhere in the land of The Jesus Lizard, Unsane, Entombed, Neurosis and Shellac. « hide
