RECOMMENDED STUFF
NEEDFUL THINGS has started in ’95 with this line-up: Martin - drums,
Roman - guit, Michael - vocals, Otto - bass. In ’96 Martin left the
band, because he had different opinions on music style. From that
time we had many problems with drummers. In the end of ’96 Radek
joined us. In ’97 we recorded our first studio stuff in this
line-up: Roman - guit./voc., Michael - voc., Radek - drums, Otto-
bass. This stuff was release as a split tape with Czech grind core
band called GENITAL GORE. The same stuff was release as a split 7”EP
(ltd 315 copies) in colaboration with two labels

band. He had different opinions on the style of music of NEEDFUL
THINGS and some personal problems. So we recorded that stuff with a

Label History
Khaaranus productions

1996/1997, at that time as very small home distro of band
Cerebral Turbulency,
better said as necessarity to avoid (sell) stuffs (demos, CDs, vinyls, T-Shirts
etc...) traded for tapes released to debut CD "as gravy" (on Leviathan records).
Those MC edition has been released by band itself for remained money from
recording studio. The run of distro has been managed by drummer Michal. Due to
huge enthusiasm and activity there was the money from traded/sold stuffs under
gathering and saving by small and pure sums. Anyway, after two years of big care
and hard work there was saved enough cash to release 500 copies of a CD and some
things determinated to release the second Cerebral's album. This decision is
possible to sign as main point of the beginning and running of
Khaaranus prod.
now not only as small pure distro but as starting label joining among already
working colleagues as Obscene prod.,
Shindy prod., Epidemie rec., or
Bizarre
Leprous prod.. |
