We argued for ages. "Conversations With Dead People," Wild Bill shrieked, a grin etched on his face, "That's the name!" Then The Face looked skywards slowly, and said, quietly, "Attic Room." I agreed that that was a good name, as did WB. With that, AttikRoom was born - a name that told everyone everything - where do you go least? Where are the corners most drowned in the embraces of shadows? Where is the room you're most likely to forget exists, yet will always be there? The AttikRoom.

I, AttikRoom, take thee, the audience, to be my lawful brothers and sisters in evil. Today, Scarborough, tomorrow, the world.

MP3s are worthless. The internet, on the other hand, has become the greatest tool for promotion - and, indeed, world domination - since murder and arson.

If they weren't after destroying our hearts and possessing our souls...

We were born from the ashes of the world. University life bored us so... While our peers drank copiously and suffered in the mornings for their insipid sins we spawned a sound interwoven from hatred and disgust. Lexifer Crowley and Wild Bill met first, and spoke of their love for the darker corners of the musical landscape. Then The Face met Lexifer and Wild Bill, and shared his desire for crushingly heavy, uncompromisingly brutal music. AttikRoom was truly born when the 3 of them plotted this new form of evil from behind glasses in the student bar. Soon enough Lexifer would walk into the deep night and say, aloud, with only WB to hear him, "I spread my wings like a shadow on the autumn moon." So it was that one of the key lyrics in Illuminati Rising would be born. It was the dead of night, the moon was gracing the sky with it's crepuscular presence and autumn was upon them. The stage was set; the demonic trio ready to spread their wings...

...Soon enough, word of this new group of evil-doers would spread. So it was that Breally would come to hear Illuminati Rising, and witness this new inhuman power. The unearthly charms of AttikRoom would ensnare him then and there, and he would join AttikRoom as a singer, a voice of melody among the cacophony of hate, and a guitarist, a contribution to that very cacophony.

However, our story does not end there, my friends. Alas, Brealey's commitments lay elsewhere, and it was Will who would step up to replace him ably. AttikRoom was complete.

Lexifer - Darkthrone, Megadeth, Jesu, Old Man Gloom
Wild Bill - Fear Factory, Lamb Of God, KoRn, Slipknot
The Face - Death, Cynic, Dream Theatre
Will - (???)

We know no love for any place in which humans dwell.

All we have is the hatred in our hearts.
