DETROIT, MI, U.S.
AKA MABUS came from Detroit and blended every form of metal together in a grind-centric, genre-defying destroyer with a pissed off attitude best described as "grindpunk." because it has a different feel to it. At any given moment AKA MABUS could fly into death, thrash, black metal, grind or hardcore punk while oozing in sound samples and industrialized segueways. AKA MABUS burned fast & hard from 2004-2006. LORD OF THE BLACK SHEEP was recorded in 2006 and unreleased until 2010. Help spread this obscure beast to grinders, metalheads & punks across the globe! AKA MABUS was August Krueger (drums), General Robert Lee Simpson (Vocals/Samples) Ryan Bartek (guitar) & Steve Bersche (Bass). All musicians insist you pirate this album!!!

REVIEW FROM METAL MANIACS MAGAZINE, MAY 2007: 'It's like sledding down a mountain of landmines, hauling ass like a champ to ensure you're past the next one when it blows, damn close to becoming pink snow each time. Blending grindcore, punk, industrial and thrash elements together, exposure to AKA MABUS incites an anarchic, uncontainable explosion of neurotic hate the punks, grinders, 'bangers and all chaos-born heathens into raw, demented, metallic battery will likely dig. And it bore no surprise upon first listen... A dude who expresses his inner rage towards modern humanity in any artistic way possible, 'Maniacs' writer/musician/pissed American Ryan Bartek helps man this act. I am sure others involved share and contribute to the bands message. End-bringing apocalyptic/anarcho, proto/retro, genre crossbreeding has resulted in something that's immediately familiar yet completely innovative. I need not add comparisons since it genre-jumps/mangles nonstop. Discerningly catchy, pathologically corrosive and (hopefully) morally corruptive, 'Lord Of The Black Sheep' is a f**king outstanding display of what America can produce musically, yet will remind you of its evils and contradictions in every syllable.' -Dave Brenner
