In 2000 Grendel’s first promo CD was released which included the Dutch dance floor hit ‘Strangers’. Within a very short period of time the promo was being played at many locations throughout the Netherlands and internationally.

Half a year later the first demo CD was releases entitled ‘Inhumane Amusement’. This demo caught the ear of the German record label NoiTekk (a sub-division of Black Rain records), which convinced the label to such an extent that they signed Grendel immediately.

To follow this up, the “End of Ages EP” was released in 2002 and marked new territory for Grendel with tracks such as the international hit title-track “End of Ages”, the pounding “Catastrophe” and the intrigueing “Noisome”. With the unorthodox and original use of orchestration, obscure samples incorporated with harsh and pounding EBM structures this release again recieved almost only great reactions from both the media and listeners and would set Grendel’s sound for the future.

In 2003, Grendel recorded their second full-length release, entitled “Prescription : Medicide”. This album took another step deeper into the world of [Grendel] with it’s complex, yet harsh, pounding & danceable structures, dismal orchestration and distressed nature. It meant a big breakthrough for the band, recieving many great reviews, becoming album of the month in a.o. Zillo and Orkus plus reaching very high positions in underground charts world wide.

Later, “Soilbleed” was released, which instantly became an unmissable dancefloor classic. This gained a huge amount of support, great reviews and maintained top 5 positions in a.o. the DAC & DUC for maximum periods. As a consequence of this EP’s success, the band was highly occupied with performances and tours world wide for the next year and a half.

Finally, in 2006, VLRK and new members found time to work on their third full length album entitled “Harsh Generation”. This album marked new territory for the band, which a more matured sound and style, gaining more support and success. After it’s release in early 2007, this album remained on top 5 positions (often peaking at no. 3) on the DAC and GEWC.
