The Cenobites were founded in January 1994 as a trio consisting of Alien
– guitar and singer, Horrible Hak – double bass and Creepy
Kiel – drums. But like with all bands this line-up did not last
very long. So bassplayers and guitarists came and went until P.G. Vogeli
joined them in the summer of 1995 and guitarplayers Jeff and Michell in
1999. Because Alien did not just play guitar but also was the singer,
they had to find a replacement on vocals as well. They found the right
guy in Dimitri. With this line-up they built up their current reputation.
Just before a tour in Germany (2002) Jeff and Michel were replaced with
Wally. So it was four of a kind until Kiel also left the band after ten
years. He had been replaced by Rudy Röss. With him they recorded
the "Snakepit Vibrations" album, which he helped producing.
He stayed with the band for about a year and a half till he found out
that our thing was not his thing. A new drummer has been found in Nik
Reitsma.
The band is influenced by 50's Rock’n’Roll,
punkrock and raw psychobilly bands, like Demented are Go, Motorhead, Exploited
and Elvis. Over the years they developed their self-proclaimed ‘cenodemonic
sounds’.
The Cenobites did a very respectable number of shows
over the years in the Netherlands as well as internationally. Some of
the highlights are: twice at the Callella summer meeting, the 9th big
rumble in Great Yarmouth and Demons of the swamp in Rennes. They also
have been touring in Brazil four times, did a tour in Germany during the
holidays of December 2002 and played the Wreckers Ball in L.A. in 2004.
They played with acts like: Demented are Go, Mad Sin, Peter Pan Speedrock,
U.S. Bombs, New Bomb Turks and many others.
Because of their busy tourschedule they did not stay
unnoticed by recordcompanies. The English Fury label released two compilation
albums with Cenobites songs and Tombstone records released the first 10"
simply called "Cenobites". Tocado records from Rotterdam released
two compilation albums; one live and one studio comp. After these compilations
they also released the "Girl in the woods" 7". The Belgian
Drunkabilly label has released the first full-length called "Demons
to some Angels to others". This album was released in June 2002 and
was received very well. The album brought them a lot of shows in last
4 months of 2002, including a successful tour in Germany. In December
2003 they released a new three track single called "Secretum",
also on Drunkabilly records. Fall 2005 they brought out a another full
length album called "Snakepit Vibrations".
To us it’s clear
Cenobites will get you... wherever you are!!!
