This split is a Cleaveland underground classic!
ESCALATION ANGER delivers energetic, well played \thrash, with vocals leaning more towards hardcore. An early Cleaveland underground band active from 1990-1998. Steve Shalaty went on to fill the drum slot in IMMOLATION and remains to this day. Other members that once were in ESCALATION ANGER include Brian Sekula (Mortician, Anal Cunt Glee Club, Terror, Nunslaughter, Bloodsick) Kyle "I have Mustache" Severn (Incantation, Acheron, Vital Remains).
SCHNAUZER is a project that have been called Thrash, Noise, Hardcore, Grindcore. But to us here at DHR, SCHAUZER is really only one thing... Scrapmetal! Funny and disturbing metal that will warm the cockles of heart and satisfy the desire for something strange you just can't turn off! However this is really only for a few twisted minds that love the absurd and a good dose of metal humor. The rest of you can just fuck off!
Jim "Sadist" Konya was a beloved staple of the Cleveland and of course the world metal community, tragically passing in October 2015 at the age of 44. His longstanding musical legacy stretches as deep as the list of his nicknames: 9 Shocks Terror, Apartment 213, the Spawn of Satan, Nordic Mist, Nunslaughter, Schnauzer, Gravewürm, Minch… Jim Lasagna, Jim Satanic, Goatslaughter, Lord Mazillion, Sadist, Jimmy.
Jim Lasagna held a special place in our hearts here at DHR, as we were fortunate enough to meet and hang out with "Konya" on many occasions over the years. He was always one to come right up and start busing balls and telling funny stories. Such a great warrior for all things metal, and of course a generally cool and nice person as well as fucking metal as hell! Period! What a tragic loss to the Cleaveland and world underground scenes.
