CHANNEL
ZERO
Channel Zero
was formed in Brussels in late 1990. The name of the band was inspired by the
Public Enemy track "She watched Channel Zero". A German label, Shark
Records, quickly snapped up the young band and their self-titled debut hit the
stories in 1992.
STIGMATIZED
Produced by
W.Stach and mixed in Nashville by Vinnie Paul, the album
"Stigmatized" followed in 1993. Things began to come together for
Channel Zero as their sophmore effort showcased how lead singer Franky´s
powerful and unique vocal style could really bring the potency of the band to a
new level. Furthermore, their enthusiasm in the live arena resulted in shows
with Biohazard, Obituary, Napalm Death, Life of Agony and Pro-pain, along with
support slots with both Exhorder and M.O.D. in Europe.
UNSAFE
Their third album, “Unsafe” marked a new, sharper, more focused
and straightfoward sound. Produced by Andre Gielen and mixed in New York´s
River Sound Studio by Michael Barbiero(Metallica, Soundgarden, L7, Guns ´N´
Roses), this was Channel Zero´s first album to released in the U.S.
1995
1995 was a breakthrough year for Channel Zero wich saw them tour
across the world with, among others, Megadeth, Danzig, and Biohazard. As well
as grace the bills of many famous European festivals(Torhout/Werchter,
Pukkelpop, Bourges, ...) the band played a headline tour in Australia.
BLACK
FUEL
Released in 1997, Channel Zero´s final studio offering, “Black
Fuel”, was engineered and produced by Attie Bauw, a Dutch producer who worked
proviously with Fight(Rob Halford). The mastering was complete by Bob Ludwig at
the Gateway Mastering in Portland, Maine, U.S.
Channel
Zero split in August 1997.

But in 2010 Channel Zero, the best metal band that Belgium has
ever known and having sold 100.000 albums in the past, came back with a bang!

the AB to its foundations.
