One of Australia's first black metal bands of note, the wonderfully named Bestial Warlust arguably still qualify as one of its most extreme ever. Inspired by the bloodthirsty Scandinavian masters -- Darkthrone, Mayhem, et al. -- Damon Bloodstorm (vocals), Chris Corpsemolester (guitar), Keith Destroyer (guitar), Joe Skullf**er (ba**), and Markus Hellcunt (drums) founded the group in the early '90s, and issued their savage debut album, Vengeance War Til d**h, in 1994. The similarly evil sophomore Blood and Valour arrived a year later and featured a new guitarist and ba**ist in Chris Masochist and Phil Gresik, respectively; but Bestial Warlust would splinter soon thereafter due to the musicians' many competing music projects -- most notably with Gresik joining former guitarist Keith Destroyer in Destroyer 666. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide
