Alienation Mental

Alienation Mental was a Czech grindcore band from Prague formed in 1997. The most recent live lineup was Oleg Kamenetski (vocals), Tom?? Mleziva (guitar), Pavel Kucha? (guitar), Mirek Mar??k (bass) and Jarda Ha? (drums). The expression of the band has been transforming through time as a result of numerous personal changes. This is the reason why Alienation Mental decided not to continue as a band that is known for its 2002 acclaimed record Ball Spouter.

After releasing their self-titled record in May 2011, three members of Alienation Mental, Oleg (voc), Tom?? (guitar) and Jarda (drums) have started a new project called Perfecitizen.

The beginning of the Alienation Mental is dated in January 1997 when Pavel and Michal had founded this band. Later Jarda from the breaking thrash/death metal Mort Lake band joined us. The band Mort Lake had this arrangements: Michal R. (guitar, vox), Jarda (drums), Michal K. (bass) and Honza (guitar). Nevertheless Jarda didn't like their musical approach so he started to play with the idea of joining Alienation Mental. These two bands existed for a short while at the same time and even played together one concert. Alienation Mental had originally only two members: Pavel (guitar, vox) and Michal (drums). Jarda joined Alienation Mental in October 1997 on probation. Mort Lake's direction was totally different from what he and Michal wanted to play. Later on, Jarda became their drummer. Eventually Mort Lake died. That time members of Alienation Mental were forced to solve a question of the singer.

They published several ads asking for a reliable singer for a core ? death ? grind band. Unfortunately nobody was interested and the band started looking among friends. Pavel, the guitarist, the founder and the leading brain of the band, met with Beherit whom he knew from various events and concerts in a pub. He told him he was looking for a singer for his band and Milan ?Beherit? promised to come.

After one rehearsal it was clear that Milan was the right one. The first demo "Kopferkingel" was born. It was olny first step to the underworld.
The second step was in the 1999 when they recorded split CD with Malignant Tumor called "Veneration of the Biological killing machine".

Alienation Mental was playing in this arrangement for 2 years. The new bass-guitarist in the band became an old friend Michal K. (ex-MORT LAKE). After a few rehearsals recorded A 7? EP: "The restricted Cerebral Capacity" (split with Inhumate).
This split is in the way of fast and brutal grind. One year later Michal K. went to Ireland to find a job. New member is Mirek (Poppy Seed Grinder).

The first full length CD: "Ball Spouter" was recorded. Some ziners said that this material is the most brutal and the fastest in our country ever. After this release the band were on the 3 weeks euro-tour with Cerebral Turbulencyto promote it.

Beginning of the year 2003, Michal left the band becuase of personal issues with the direction of the band. During the year, 2004, the band released older materials and three live songs on one CD called "Four years...Time full of Brutality".

At the end of 2004 they released their second full lenght CD. 7 brand new songs are pure death grind with strong nu metal influences. "PSYCHOPATHICOLORSPECTRUM" was released in the middle of January 2005. At the end of January 2005 Pavel left the band. Petr Velecky joined AM after a month. He was Followed in short time with Yarda Dohnal (guitarist of Poppy Seed Grinder).

In May of that year the band toured the whole of europe. During 17 days they threw out live performances at:
Germany, Belgium, Holland, France, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia and Austria.

Yarda Dohnal left the band after a short time after that. Petr Veleck? was the only guitarist of the band until 2011 when he joined Melancholy Pessimism. In 2011, the original singer of the band, Milan Havl??ek was replaced by Oleg Kamenetski. Along with Oleg, the band was joined by Pavel Kucha? and Tom?? Mleziva on guitars. In this lineup, Alienation Mental played several live shows with bands such as Katalepsy, Neuropathia or their friends Poppy Seed Grinder. During Fall 2010 Alienation Mental went on the Misanthropic Decimation Tour along with Imperial Foeticide, Heaving Earth and Brutally Deceased.
