Sadistik Exekution
Sadistik Exekution was formed in Sydney, Australia in late 1985 by [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/2957404-Rok-5]Rok[/url] (vocals) and Dave Slave (bass). After several early line up changes, they were joined by Sandy Vahdanni of Slaughter Lord on guitar and [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/508569-Sloth-4]Sloth[/url] on drums in 1986. During this early period the band released the [r=4087726] cassette and recorded their debut album The Magus, which did not see a release for several years.
Sandy left the band soon after the recording sessions for The Magus in March 1988 and they recruited [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/507861-Rev-Kriss-Hades]Kriss Hades[/url] to replace him. This line-up (Rok, Dave Slave, Sloth and Kriss Hades) largely remained in place for the rest of the band's existence. In June 1991 their fellow Australians at [url=http://www.discogs.com/label/61986-Vampire-Records-2]Vampire Records[/url] finally released the long-delayed album The Magus on LP in both black and limited edition green vinyl. Vampire also released a CD version at a later date. Greek label Black Power Records also released the [r=2287480] 7" in late 1991. These followed up shortly with the self-released demo cassette [r=5372836], intended as a promo for their next album, which was to be titled 'Spiritual Dynamics', however, this album was never released.
In 1994 they were signed to Osmose Productions from France, who released their second album, We Are Death Fukk You. In 1995 they toured Europe with Absu and Impaled Nazarene. Their shows are remembered as being quite outrageous, with very extreme behaviour both onstage and within the tour bus.1996 saw the release of the [r=3668702] CD single.
The band's third album, K.A.O.S., was initially released through the Australian label [url=http://www.discogs.com/label/1289-Shock-2]Shock[/url] in 1997. Shock also released the [r=5491987] CD single in 1998. Osmose then released K.A.O.S. again in 1998 to a wider audience. Their next album Fukk was released in 2002, followed up in 2004 by Fukk II. The band then entered a period of inactivity and many thought they were over and done with until the release of the Tribute To Slayer Magazine split 7" with Nifelheim in 2006, released by US label undefined. That was their final release of new material to date.
In 2009 the band played their only live performance since 1999 for the first annual Australian Metal Awards. There have been no further signs of life since, but no official announcement of an end to the band has ever been forthcoming, so their current status in unknown.
