Artist History Early 1998, Matt, Olli, Norbert and Jan founded Mortal Viruz and recorded two demos the same year. After Jan left the band a short time later Chrille replaced him on the bass. In 1999 Mortal Viruz changed their name into Spawn and recorded their Demo- CD "Headhunter". In March 2000 Hardy (Ex- Nuclear Tribunal) joined Spawn. The bass player problem continued and Chrille left the band in August 2000. Fux (Ex- Nuclear Tribunal) helped out for a short time when Spawn recorded their promo- CD "Veritas" but he also left a little later. Spawn received lots of attention with this promotional output and people liked the brutal Old- School- Death Metal which seems to be different from other Mainstream stuff; ultra- deep growls, guitar- riffing that goes from ultra fast to fat and groovy and a whole bunch of power and brutality. In January 2001 Alf joined Spawn and completed them to the Killer- Band they are now. In Mai 2001 Spawn recorded their first full- length album "Systems Full Of Victims" which was released by Bruchstein records and gained lots of attention. They were invited to play at the "Fuck The Commerce IV" in Neiden where they took their first step on bigger stages and showed that this is exactly the place where they belong to. In the beginning of June Spawn supported Krisiun and Damnation on a tour in Germany and showed that they are a band that can excite their fans which was proved by really good resonances on their killer show. Further tours are planned at the moment, so watch out what happens. After a short break Spawn are in the songwriting process for the new material which will be kickin´your asses once again; expect nothing but a brutal slap in your face! In april 2002 SPAWN toured a 3 week european support for Cryptopsy and Haemorrhage together with Profanity.The tour was a big success. From Sweden to Croatia people could see, that SPAWN hit the stage and leave nothing but devastation.... The writing process shows its results. New brutal death metal is waiting for you! "Hybrid Manifestion" is newest output, a 7" split single with Harmony Dies, released in May 2002

Press Reviews "And yet another no-mercy death metal act from Berlin that worships the "untrendy" US-brutality! I still recall the band's early demo material and I must admit that these 5 guys made a huge step forward musically and in terms of songwriting for this 10-track debut (s)platter. Sure, you can always figure out that Spawn truly dig acts like Cannibal Corpse or Dying Fetus, but I wouldn't know what's wrong with that!? Their compositions are all the way catchy, straight forward with nice guttural vocals and a very punchy modern production, so that all in all this should be one of the hottest national newcomers to keep in mind if this is your favourite style of music. Spawn have just finished a quite successful first German mini-tour together with Krisiun and Damnation where they proved that they actually also manage to deliver the guts, eh, goods in a stage performance as well, so... if it wasn't for the pretty uncool cover artwork (well, then again that's only my personal taste and opinion!), this would be a comple te killer-release. A young band determined to blast its way up in the underground! Label contact: Bruchstein Records, Kadiner Str. 15, D - 10243 Berlin, Germany" Leif Jensen VOICES FROM THE DARKSIDE, the magazine for brutal Death, Thrash and Black Metal! ************************************************** ************************************************** Esta visto que la escena alemana, esta volviendo a renacer con bandas totalmente underground, sin sello discografico, sin contratos, y autofinanciandose todo, lo cual esta de p.m, y para muestra la de esta banda que tomando por monicker, el famoso comic Spawn, nos destroza cual exterminador de masas con su death metal, brutal, rapido e intenso al mas puro estilo de la vieja escuela, con reminiscencias claras de los Cannibal Corpse, pero sin ser un mero clon de ellos, y mostrando que solo es una pequeña fuente de inspiracion. " System Full Of Victims " que asi se llama el segundo cd del quinteto Berlines, se nos muestra en 10 cañanazos en plena cara, llena de los tipicas " Reglas " de una buena banda de Death Metal, guitarras como cuchillas infectadas, base ritmicas demoledora, blast beats en plan m16 ( vamos con el tupatupatupatupa.. jeje ), y voces ultraguturales... pero sin dejar de un lado es sonido clasico Europeo ( ya sabes alguna que otra melodia por ahi suelta.. ). Tanto la produccion como la calidad instrumental de la banda, son dignas de mencion, subiendo los enteros del resultado final. FUTURE KILLING TODAY!!!! http://www.bloodcifery.com/criticas/spawn.htm
