Artist History The first music experiments were something between noisecore and industrial, than we played something between folkpunk and trashmetal and in 1994 we found a band called SOCIAL DEFORMITY...We were 3 members´ band, FIDO played distorted bass, VIKI played drums and our friend ROMAN sang...SKULDA joined us in spring 1996 as a bassist, so FIDO exchanged bass for guitar and DAN joined us in spring 1997 on the second guitar...We played grindcore and released a lot of split and compilation tapes, I think the best stuff of us was MCD "Daltonism" released in summer 1997... After this release we broke up,´cos of different opinions on next evolution of our music... ROMAN and DAN wanted to make only that radical grindnoise and we others wanted to experiment with other genres...So, we 3 others made a new band called SHEEVA YOGA and went on in that broached grindcore envision but with a lot of freedom and invention...We had 2 female singers in our band´s history, but it wasn´t good idea, ´cos we´re gentlemen and made our musick more softer for our girls...It was quite crazy period of our history, we had 4 vocals and it was something between folk, punk, jazz, metal, hardcore, grindcore, industrial, everything... Simply unlistenable choas!!! So, when the last female singer BARA left us for au-pair in England, we forgot all the old songs and with our 3-members line-up again made whole new stuff which is more harder and more apprehensible now, we hope... In summer 2000 we released promotion tape "Promo 2000", we sent it to some labels and label HYENYZM RECORDS from Czech republic too released us 7"EP split with Czech fastcore band NOT in 2001 and 7"EP split with German scarecore band STERBEHILFE in 2002...We also have some stuff on many compilations, I think the world known one is CD "Obscene Extreme 2002" compilation from OBSCENE PRODUCTIONS, mainly with death-metal / gore-grind / death-grind bands...Next one is MC "Common Life" compilation with hardcore / punk / emo bands, for example MORE BAD NEWS, SOCIAL INSECURITY, HEAD TRAUMA, ILL SOCIETY, CRUCIFY YOURSELF, X-WING, ACTION, GOD GIVEN HATE, etc., which was released by DRUGS KILL YOUR MINDS RECORDS and the fresh one is 3-way split with Czech emo violence band CRUCIFY YOURSELF and Italian punk band ARTURO, released by OUT OF CONTROL RECORDS...

Press Reviews MOSH OF ASS #6 featured in SHORT FAST AND LOUD #8, released early 2002... SHEEVA YOGA - Extremely original, yet awesome fastcore/grind from the Czech Republic...It has some really crazy time changes, as well as multiple vocals styles...It´s a really intelligent approach to this style of music...I would check this out... NANOFORCE RECORDS review... 7"EP split SHEEVA YOGA/NOT - Holy christ what a great record! Sheeva Yoga grinds out a poly-genre masterpiece of ska-grind-emo-thrash. Almost the mayhem of Zorn's epic Naked City, but this really flows... CHIASS DISTRO review... 7"EP split SHEEVA YOGA/STERBEHILFE - Putain, pourquoi jamais personne ne parle de ce groupe tcheque? Du power violence émotionnel assez original. Bah ça va pas aussi vite que chez slap a ham forcément, mais c'est beaucoup plus charmant et ouais, charmant comme ta mere. Trio qui a du écouté spazz et flirter avec gride. La mélodie en rab. Zon des choses r dires en plus ! ! 5 titres...
