In 1994 the New York Hardcore outfit BURN had imploded leaving in its wake appearances on two compilation albums ( Rebuilding Comp. and the Forever Comp. ) and a vicious four song ep on Revelation Records - considered by many as one of the most important and influential 1990 album releases, setting a standard in style and attitude just as the Cro Mags 'Age of Quarrel' and Agnostic Front's 'United Blood' had in the early 1980's. - Gavin Van Vlack's post BURN band was DIE 116, formed with members of the also recently defuncted Hardcore Metal outfit RORSCHACH. Suffice to say this union seemed the musical equivalent of Godzilla meets King Kong.
This original line up, though short lived, consisted of Pete on menacing vox, Keith and Pat on thrash metal guitars, Gavin on power blues bass and Andrew on the kit - playing a percussive style reminiscent of 'Animal' from the Muppets if he were raised on Slayer and Buddy Rich.
Die 116 would challenge the Post Hardcore sound with their 'Damage Control' ep and follow up full length album 'Dyna-Cool' both produced by Martin Bisi (most notably known for producing Sonic Youth's 'Evol' album.) Though they would survive a major line up change that would see Gavin Van Vlack and Andrew Gormley remaining from the original line up, with Gavin returning to the guitar and taking on vocal duties, Eric Cooper (formerly of OPPOSITION) on guitar and vocals, and Manny Carerro (of STILLSUIT) on bass - this line up would deliver 'DYNA COOL' a full length Lp filled with television news sound bites, industrial noise, schizophrenic radio channels and broken down musical equipment stitching the material of the album together creating a sonic collage of manic songs that are both brutally heavy yet showing real depth - a sort of punk prog rock relying on extreme riffage, kamikaze style beats and lyrics lived from the depths of the Lower East Side of NYC.
DIE 116 would ultimately disband and splinter into other musical projects namely PRY, DEAD GUY and KISS IT GOODBYE.
In the end Die116 would garner cult status, leaving a mine field of utterly original music that would make any band question their direction in the face of a pure New York sound, not made for mass production but built to self - destruct...
