STD began in icy Canada as a side project of Dave from NEW DAY RISING. STD was a departure from the more melodic NDR. SPREAD THE DISEASE is pure, unrelenting blackened metalcore. Known for their violent live shows, STD quickly made a name for themselves here in the States and their native Canada. Their career spanned 2 full length CD's and 1 early seven inch. The band went on to more experimental means during the recording of their second full length ''The Sheer Force of Inertia.'' STD is perfect for fans of music as heavy as Converge,Deadguy, His Hero is Gone, and even fans of more beautiful metal like Neurosis and Cradle of Filth. Canada lost an amazing band when STD broke up in 1999. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
