Artist History Animosity was formed by three college students in October 1997, practising in an old slaughter house in Newport, Shropshire. They replaced former bass player David Homer,after recording the “We Fear” demo, recorded at Framework Studios, Birmingham, in March 1999 with Paul Siddens. Since then, Ben Rana has taken overbass duties, creating a stable line up, with an average age of twenty.The band are now expanding on the base of this demo, introducing elements of Sludgecore, Noisecore and late 90's metal, while also increasing the speed and accuracy of older material, with a new demo to be recorded by Summer.
