GRIND-O-MATIC started back in 2003 in Paris FR as a kind of industrial drum machine grindcore duo with Emmanuel Sourd (guitar/vox/prog) and Olivier Fouillet (bass/vox/prog).
In 2004, with the addition of a real drummer, Alexandre Prudent, they took a more traditional death/grind way, with a strong gory edge. They recorded our first demo, and played some gigs here and there. Several lineup changes occured, and at the end of 2006, they were brought down to three : Emmanuel Sourd (guitar), Sidi Assila (bass) and Guillaume Martins Da Silveira (vox). Then they released '9 ways to use a meatgrinder', a summary of what happened in the first 3 years of the grinding machine.
In 2007 a new drummer joined the machine, Clement Valmier. They worked on new songs and released 'The washing sessions' at the end of 2007. A few live shows in 2008 and they decided to record their first full-length. At the begining of 2009, Guillaume was replaced Roger Xivecas.
Their new album 'Welcome to grind-o-land' is now out and they are eager to defend it live!
