In 1992, Mario Klausner (bass, vocals) and Werner Freinbichler (guitar) decided
to make their preference for extreme music a personal reality by forming "SCENT
OF PARADISE". A close friend, Manfred Schneider, supported them on the drums. In
the beginning, the Doom/Death Metal influences were quite pronounced, and in
1993 they recorded their first demo, “Solitude.” It soon became obvious that the
band’s direction was turning more and more toward the Death Metal genre. No
longer able to identify themselves with the band name, they changed it to
PATHETIC.
In 1995, PATHETIC surprised the underground with a very professional demo
entitled “As We Fade”. In order to reproduce the fierce twin-guitar sound in a
live environment, Gerald Huber joined the line-up in the fall of 1996. Manfred
Schneider was forced to leave the band in 1998 due to personal reasons and a
replacement was quickly found. Unfortunately, the new arrangement did not work
out and PATHETIC survived for a long time sans drummer. Werner, Mario, and
Gerry, however, continued to compose new material, while PATHETIC further
developed in silence, away from prying eyes.
In 1996, Mario took over the bass responsibilities for BELPHEGOR and joined
PUNGENT STENCH in 2001. Likewise in 2001, Werner and Mario joined HOLLENTHON’s
live line-up, thus meeting their future drummer, Mike Gröger. He joined them in
2003 to record “In Deep Silence” as COLLAPSE 7.
From March to July, the renamed band recorded their latest work at the Vato Loco
Studio under the supervision of producer and fellow musician, Martin Schirenc.
With this debut release, COLLAPSE 7 have perfected their “Apocalyptic Death
Metal” style, creating a brutal and impressive release that is doused with a
good dose of aggression, complimented with melodic arrangements, and sealed with
precise rhythmic support. “In Deep Silence” is scheduled for a 3 May release on
NAPALM RECORDS.
