Yah. Nah.

well anyway, biomechanical have two greek guitarists, jamie aint with them no more and apparently the split was very ugly

I saw 'em back in 2006 with Exodus, the guitarist wanted to be Steve Vai so much it hurt.

who doesnt want to be steve vai?

Love the first album, the production on the second mostly makes it unlistenable. Would love to know what caused the split if anyone knows......

I read somewhere it was the big man's ego that everyone hated.

you could have also had:braveheart,scotts porridge oats,jaggyman and irn bru.

biomechanical:liked the earlier music,bit of a sci-fi,machine feel like fear factorys only decent album demanufacture.
i just couldnt stand the screaming vocals of biomechanical,they really ruin everything.

I absolutely hate Biomechanical, their music is soulless garbage.

Absolutely, really, REALLY bad live band also.

I got invited to audiction to be the singer of the orginal members' (the guys John K. kicked out) new band

If they have the same vocalists as when I saw them with Exodus.

He was in a band called Deceptor from Greece.

They did a reasonable cover of Painkiller to. I always remember that gig because the support band tried to cover it before them and fucked up the drum intro, it was well gay

Does anyone know what exactly caused the big split?

It's a forum so just make something up if you don't know, thats how internet facts are born.

Somebody slept with one of their sister's tumours.

Does anyone know what happened to these guys?

I do ...

John K has put Biomechanical on a permanent 'hiatus'

i think theres a detailed blog on it on the Earache website, or there used to be.

Of the original band, John K has his own company an is now working on film scores.


Chris Webb ( guitars) and the drummer Matt went on to form rock band Solsikk. ( I think they played BOA last year, not sure tho)

Jon, the bass, qualified from uni and as far as I know isnt doing anything much in music, although he comes from a classically trained musical family.

Not sure about Jamie Hunt, though I do know he worked in schools as a guitar teacher.

Not very often i disagree with Atom, but I have to say that they were absolutely amazing live.

I reckon I must have seen them 20-30 times over the years they were together. All good guys.

That is, IF they got a good sound. If not, the complex music and technical wizadry could make it sound completely dire.

and definitely an acquired taste.

8 moons was an accomplished debut, and I personally thought Empires bettered it.

The third album, Cannibalised, moved more towards the film scoring- and it was a step too far I think for most tastes. i find it hard to listen to. but I have no doubts that ego or not,
john K is a very talented man.

Lovely band
