Ane and STR recorded their first album, Grim-Stroke-Disease together, releasing it on the Machinery/Noise label in 1990. About a year later, it was followed by Grow-Speed Injection.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShortly after the 1994 album Combat Shock, Swamp Terrorists added several members for their live show: bassist Anrej A, guitarist Spring and drummer Piet Hertig. However, STR left the band immediately following the 1995 release Killer, and began to work with the guitar-heavy Hellsau. The other four members of the band, as well as STR's live replacement ND, have since released a live album, Five in Japan and 2 EPs: Wreck in 1997, and Rare \u0026amp; Unreleased in 1999, on Metropolis Records.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Swamp+Terrorists","playStationPath":"/stations/118573428/play","stationId":118573428,"bioPath":"/music/Swamp+Terrorists/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Birmingham+6","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/7df/7dfef4720fe1b7761bf4f8d340fbbe95_md.jpg","artistName":"Birmingham 6","artistId":87886,"station_id":271970842},{"musicPath":"/music/Luxt","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/dbc/dbc37808bf108fea8fa48551842cbd69_md.jpg","artistName":"Luxt","artistId":5288,"station_id":113401289},{"musicPath":"/music/Battery+Cage","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/372/372867a0cf926a11ddd7ab99bcdcae17_md.jpg","artistName":"Battery Cage","artistId":127494,"station_id":284832211},{"musicPath":"/music/Idiot+Stare","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f1e/f1e9c16490bbc63b4fd8b2d958d6f231_md.jpg","artistName":"Idiot Stare","artistId":6317,"station_id":246505478},{"musicPath":"/music/Acid+Horse","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/5cd/5cd17b49a2d90743dea6e6b5a9d4acaf_md.jpg","artistName":"Acid Horse","artistId":6050,"station_id":137583587},{"musicPath":"/music/Kevorkian+Death+Cycle","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/61d/61dfa99af26c436edd4fc0b9176690d1_md.jpg","artistName":"Kevorkian Death Cycle","artistId":1776,"station_id":113884755},{"musicPath":"/music/Diatribe","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/70e/70eab5423fb4f4ff58c24a3dcb595610_md.jpg","artistName":"Diatribe","artistId":1501,"station_id":113609659},{"musicPath":"/music/Out+Out","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f04/f04118bca344b854291f38c4a3971179_md.jpg","artistName":"Out Out","artistId":1191,"station_id":113397434},{"musicPath":"/music/Templebeat","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/01f/01fe8a78cc9cc62738f56c59ef297f8f_md.jpg","artistName":"Templebeat","artistId":5291,"station_id":113343568},{"musicPath":"/music/Digital+Poodle","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/266/266d717c5c3867c057c87dfc8da66091_md.jpg","artistName":"Digital Poodle","artistId":1503,"station_id":248193114},{"musicPath":"/music/Watts","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f63/f630c4790d9c81ee924ce095bf512887_md.jpg","artistName":"Watts","artistId":107911,"station_id":281656782},{"musicPath":"/music/Penal+Colony","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/8dd/8dd9e3b1c637f819d34fa8bc51104137_md.jpg","artistName":"Penal Colony","artistId":7613,"station_id":125560655},{"musicPath":"/music/Hilt","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/2a3/2a353d27b7b1aff8859473848f293b5f_md.jpg","artistName":"Hilt","artistId":909,"station_id":116801254},{"musicPath":"/music/Godheads","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/78c/78c51cb564244b5018497569290fab2a_md.jpg","artistName":"Godheads","artistId":6316,"station_id":113596854},{"musicPath":"/music/Mainesthai","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/a6c/a6c4d07b711a2a7952d3b0a76890fdaf_md.jpg","artistName":"Mainesthai","artistId":6327,"station_id":124469609},{"musicPath":"/music/Steril","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/79a/79a17f10c5e2abb787f0a8984c78e8ae_md.jpg","artistName":"Steril","artistId":1874,"station_id":122729058},{"musicPath":"/music/Iron+Lung+Corp","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/74d/74d5fcb46698b390a61e4b31b6a21ed5_md.jpg","artistName":"Iron Lung Corp","artistId":116998,"station_id":283168263},{"musicPath":"/music/Final+Cut","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d1e/d1e92bf431d28c44e2b398698e94dc15_md.jpg","artistName":"Final Cut","artistId":408484,"station_id":399020617}]}
