Meeting With David Gray
In 1987, some school friends were trying to start a band and advertised for a drummer in Guitarist magazine. Gray answered the advert and the ensemble began playing covers as a three piece. Gray thought they needed a second guitarist and Mendonça was introduced to the fold. The originators of this school days project faded away as Mendonca and Gray began to explore more aggressive influences such as early Bathory, Venom, Celtic Frost, Possessed and Voivod. These experimentations led to the formulation of numerous proto-projects with numerous collaborators until approximately 1989.
