'Frank Zappa meets metal'is how the American trio was defined at the beginning of their career in the late 1980s. Original, shocking, insane, unhinged and above all Musicians with a capital M, they rightfully gained cult band status during the 1990s. 'Frizzle Fry', 'Sailing the Seas of Cheese' and 'Pork Soda'.their first three albums, they brought irony, already intuitable from the titles, to the metal scene of skulls, cobwebs and sad faces.
