Biography

B-LOW is an insanely hard live band and dares to experiment and improvise live with samples and loops while mixing it into an energetic metal/industrial show.

B-LOW was founded by Jos "Midget" Wübbels and Patrick "B2" Mangnus on November 30th 1995 with the idea to create extremely heavy (doom) metal. In 1997 Bastiaan "Bastard" van Zwieten joins as second bass-player and the band continues in this form for nearly 7 years.

In 2001 the first mini-album/demo, Demotivation Remake 2B, is recorded on four tracks and unleashed upon the unsuspecting masses. Demotivation Remake 2B shows a band experimenting with Doom, Industrial and Noise but already showing that they have found their own style.

The follow-up album, Ground Zero Souvenirs is recorded in 2003 and released in November of that same year. This album features more samples and electronics and also shows a more aggressive and political view on the world.

In the spring of 2004 Marinus "Lichtbringer" Moerland reinforces the band as lead-vocalist.

B-LOW plays with two bass-guitars to achieve the ultimate low and heavy sound. In time the old doom idea is replaced by a more industrial sound. By adding (really distorted) samples, synthesiser sounds, filters, extra drumbeats and double or even triple vocals the music becomes more layered, aggressive, groovy, melodic and weird. The musical input from the different members is very different from each other, just like their musical influences.

Musical roots range from punk to the entire metal-scene and from techno and house to dark and cold stripped down industrial. Because of this musical diversity B-LOW has created a unique style of music which they describe as; SLOW DOOM + FAST NOISE.

A few names of bands that B-LOW finds itself (somewhat) connected with : Neurosis, Sonic Youth, Strapping Young Lad, Red Harvest, Godflesh, Nailbomb, Atari Teenage Riot, Fear Factory and many more ...
