Filthy Charity

Death Grind band Formed in Marseille, France March 1989 by [a=David Cammal] (Filthy Dave). The line up which lasted the longest, from 1992 to 1999 was composed of Filthy Dave (Guitar), [a=Romuald Kaminski] (Bass), [a=Michel Cozzi] (Vocals) and [a=Lionel Restoun] (Drums). During this period, the group self-released several demo tapes including "Misery Is Our Destiny", "Paradise Will Be Reborn From Chaos" and a split demo with BESMET (1992/1993). Followed by and a split 7" EP with S.R.M.P (1993), a 7" EP "Disgrace Of The Earth" (1995) and a CD album "Manes Thecel Phares" (1996). The band split in 1999 as each member had other musical desires, most notably; Michel went on to form [a=Your Shapeless Beauty], Filthy Dave and Lionel respectively took up guitar and vocals in Substance of Noise then guitar and drum in [a=Lunglance] along with various other projects. The band has since then re-formed in May 2008 when Filthy Dave pitched the idea to the rest of Filthy Charity, an idea immediately followed up by Lionel on drums, joined shortly afterwards by Romuald on bass. The band then recuited Greg [a=Ƶgregorov] on vocals... Unfortunately, during January 2009 the 800 km distance between home and the rest of the band made Romuald decide to leave... the following week, Mello, percussionist of the Cumbia Chichara, who was at the same rehearsal space, took the bass with enthusiasm and played his first rehearsal and his first gig with band on the same day.
