Ruin Of Nova Roma

As teenagers Taint formed in 19941s South Wales d. i. y punk/metal scene. After a string of formative demo cassettes the 'Die Die Truth speaker' mini-album was released in 2000, on London's Household Name records. Playing national shows with such bands as Acrimony, Avail, Boy Sets Fire, Canvas, Capdown, Cathedral, Consumed, Converge, Clutch, Earth Crisis, Hard to Swallow. Iron Monkey, Stampin' Ground, Spirit Caravan and Will Haven gave the band great experience in honing their craft of sludgy discordances and emotionally charged outpourings. Garnering the band comparisons to such diverse bands as Black Sabbath and Slint, a precedent to the glut of derivative Neurosis-ites and post-rock/metal amalgams that are so currently en vogue, 5 years later.
