If there were a name for a sound that descends further and further into a twisting rabbit hole before finding it's way into your eardrums, and finally returning to the depths of Hell taking you with it, this is it...
Perhaps no other band in the realm of underground music has proven themselves more promising or inventive than the cataclysmic TourniKueT. With a sound that transcends genres, TourniKueT has shown their influences and have created a style all their own. Their music described as "Trip Metal" contains elements of industrial rock to all out metal. TourniKueT consecutively has exemplified the dark natures of humanity and amplifies all that is unholy.


Members:
Mosh Maddox- Voices

DJ Seed- Digital Sampling and Turntables


TourniKueT was founded in 2003 with the meeting of Mosh Maddox and Damien Byrne, soon after meeting at a party, they began rehearsing together. Both were in seperate bands at the time, and planned these rehearsals to result in a collaboration project. Realizing the potential of what had just been created, Mosh and Damien abandoned their current bands, with the addition of Danny Blades (bass player and long-time friend of Damien's former band), R.A.M. (former drum programer for Mosh's original band), and newcomer to the music scene, Cyanide, they began recording and performing together as the newly formed band TourniKueT. Then in early 2005, it was rumored that Danny Blades would soon be leaving the band for unknown reasons. These allegations were later fulfilled in mid 2005, when Cyanide filled in as bass player for the band. After Blades' departure, TourniKueT fell into a dark silence, as they continued to record/produce the demo entitled "Questionz". It was during this silence that TourniKueT, as a band, underwent many changes. In 2006, TourniKueT emerged from the silence with a new bassist(Drig), a new drummer (Seriph), a completed demo (Sunday School Fuck-ups Vol. 1), and a heavier sound. They have since created a unique sound that they have self- dubbed "Horror Hardcore". After many more lineup changes, Mosh, Damien, and R.A.M.(who later went by the name "DJ Seed") remain the only original members.

Since their birth in 2003, TourniKueT has become one the most recognizable, and arguably most controversial bands of the underground metal scene. TourniKueT continues their malovent assailment on the american society, oganized religion, and moral structure. As they pave a yellow-brick road to hell...and encourage all to follow.
