OTIS consists of 5 guys who have been in bands like Stockholm Syndrome and Against Time together for years. The band was founded at the end of '05 and played its first show in '06. So far they did shows all over Europe together with bands such as Coalesce, Torche, NRA, Rise And Fall, Monotonix, Jello Biafra, Coliseum, Born From Pain, Textures and Baroness. In '06 they released a split 10" with Daily Fire and in '07 their debut album Good Cop Bad Mood saw the light of day. This record was well received by the press, comparing them to Helmet, Snapcase, At The Drive-In, Refused, Fugazi, The Melvins and Black Flag.

Otis

In '09 a split with The Unborn was released, directly followed by their second album Storm Is Coming. It is the first installment in a trilogy based on poems by Arthur Rimbaud. The leitmotiv in this part is his poem Le Bateau Ivre. Again, the press was very positive: next to the comparisons drawn when Good Cop Bad Mood came out, this time they also spoke of Unsane, Botch, Drive Like Jehu, Minutemen, Dag Nasty and Breach. The eleven-minute closing piece reminisced of acts like Zu, The Ex, John Zorn and Sonic Youth. Storm Is Coming was released during a four show weekender supporting the legendary Nomeansno.

GREYLINE is a profound Dutch rock / metal band, founded in the end of '01. The last couple of years the band intensively toured through Europe while not forgetting to astonish their home crowd. The band was invited to the well known Waldrock and Eurosonic festivals and shared stages with bands like Slayer, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge, Textures and Crowbar. Last year the band took their time to write and record nine dark, heavy and intensive songs. On their new album, entitled Behind The Masquerade, this resulted into a fine mix between bands like Baroness, Poison The Well and Neurosis.

Greyline

The mixing of Behind The Masquerade was done by Philip Cope. He is also responsible for the production of Red Album (Relapse '09) by the rock / metal band Baroness, and is the producer and guitarist / vocalist for the stoner / sludge-formation Kylesa. Scott Hull (Visceral Sound) did the powerful mastering. Hull is guitarist / producer for Agoraphobic Nosebleed and Pig Destroyer, and produced and mastered numerous releases for cult metal-label Relapse Records. To name a few names the press came up with in their reviews of Behind The Masquerade: Mastodon, Cult Of Luna, Monster Magnet, The Ocean, Goatsnake and Metallica.
