Artist History The Satanic Ballerinas formed in Minneapolis in the summer of 2000. Aaaron (drums) and Brandon (guitars) had played together for a year in the band FLESHQUAKE when they met Steve of local metal band VULNERATA. Steve's huge display of talent immediately caught the attention of Aaron and Brandon, and they set out to recruit him immediately. Steve enthusiastically joined the band on guitars and propelled it in an entirely new direction. Shortly thereafter, they decided to adopt the moniker THE SATANIC BALLERINAS because they had changed styles so drastically, going from slow hardcore to fast paced extreme metal. After switching bassists twice, the group finally added Dan (bass) and Josh (vocals) in 2001 and the line-up was complete. In 2003 the band had a falling out with bassist Dan Schmitt, so Dan Demuth, the bands "producer" and Project X guitarist Dan Demuth took over the bass duties.
