“I was into hardcore/punk right after I was into (speed/thrash/any) metal and discovered this beautiful mix of both with even more speed and anger,” he said. “My band at the time quit in '95. As I had some friends who are/were on the same level as me music-wise, it wasn't even a discussion; we had to start a grindcore band.”

You Grind…But Why?: Shantia
Shantia, six string anchor to Dutch grinders My Minds Mine and Blood I Bleed, is easily one of my favorite songwriters working these days. He’s got a stripped down punk quality to his playing that careens between catchy and aggressive amid strangling squalls of delicious guitar feedback. It turns out for Shantia grind wasn’t so much a choice as a calling.

Having emigrated to the Netherlands, It is a personal ambition to see both bands live some time. I shall be sure to taunt you about it afterwards.
Bread I Bleed is pretty cool. I think they should take my name change suggestion.
if you get to see my minds mine play, you're gonna have to let me see your time machine one day. mmm/bib are essentially the same band renamed after mmm's drummer left.
Curse my misinformation, but nonetheless time machine development will commence.
