Welsh hard rock trinity Taint take forged a unparalleled stylus from a broad ambit of influences, embracement elements of hood, stoner rock, sludge metal, technical alloy, and regular bits of indie john Rock, and melding them into a exact, relentless attack. Taint were formed in South Wales in 1993 by guitar player and vocalist James "Jimbob" Isaac, bassist Darren Mason, and drummer Alex Harries. After recording a fistful of self-released cassette demos and coming into court on a compilation from Household Name Records, Taint released their debut EP, Go Die Truthspeaker, through Household Name in 2000; by this clip, Mason had left the grouping and Stophe had replaced him on bass, though Stophe would leave the banding in 2001 and Chris West would take over as Taint's new bassist. Split releases with Black Eye Riot and Army of Flying Robots followed in 2003 and 2005, severally, on with extensive touring, and in 2005 the chemical group signed with the inflexible U.K. metal label Rise Above Records. That same year, Rise Above released Taint's outset uncut album, the epochal The Ruin of Nová Roma, recorded in California and produced by former Fudge Tunnel guitar player Alex Newport. After rounds of successful touring in the U.K., Europe, and Greece, Taint returned to the studio for their arcsecond full-length album, 2007's Secrets and Lies.
