Disciples of Annihilation

Biography

"If you like snorting cocaine and injecting heroin into your testicles... buy this album!" - The New York Times.

Disciples of Annihilation (D.O.A.) was the first authentic speedcore artist or ensemble, which was formed in New York City, USA in 1993 by Sal Mineo, Nick Marchetti and Carl Carinci. One year later, the trio began releasing material on Industrial Strength Records, including the "Industrial Power 9D4" single. After playing several shows in hardcore techno's homebase of Scotland, D.O.A. signed a deal with UK record label Earache. The group's debut album, New York City Speedcore, appeared in early 1997. Marchetti died that same year, resulting in the demise of D.O.A., but not the new sound.
