BIGpedia - Nasum - Encyclopedia and Dictionary Online

Nasum is a Swedish political grindcore band that was formed in 1992 by Anders Jakobson (guitar) and Rickard Alriksson (drums/vocals), two former members of the goregrind band Necrony . Two weeks before their first recording they added Mieszko Talarczyk as a guitarist. The tracks they recorded at this time were latter released on the split 7" with Agathocles. Early on they were featured on a four way split MCD with Retaliation , Clotted Symmetric Sexual Organs , and Vivisection . They released the demos Industrislaven and World in Turmoil before being signed to Relapse Records in 1997 and releasing their first full-length album Inhale/Exhale as a two member band (Alriksson had left the band, and Jakobson took over on drums). This album clearly showed a crust punk influence. They later added a third member, Jesper Liverod, to the group so that they could tour with both a bassist and a gutarist, and released the album Human 2.0 (Human 2.01 in Japan) in 2000. There have been some recent line up changes to the band which now includes a member of the grindcore/goregrind band Regurgitate , and they have released their third full-length album Helvete. Both Helvete and Human 2.0 show a change in direction away from the more crust oriented sound that they had on Inhale/Exhale, and towards a much cleaner, technical, and pure grindcore sound.

Their lead singer, Mieszko Talarczyk has been reported missing as a result of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. On February 17th 2005 it was confirmed that his body has been identified, and that he died as a result of the Tsunami Disaster on December 26th.
