Founded in February 2012, the band had undergone many changes in band names, line-up and writing styles. In 2016, the current line-up had established itself and quickly found its own unique sound and style. Whilst doing so, they managed to stay true to the familiar and beloved sound of old school death metal and the name CRITICAL MESS was born. Musical influences range from the early thrash metal and hardcore/punk era to modern day technical and extreme metal genres.
