Started out in '96 as a kinda Vietnom, Boxcutter Hardcore/Hip Hop project called THC Crew (Rotterdam, Netherlands), with dutch lyrics, three MC's, a guitar player, drumcomputer and samples. One MC and the guitar player decided to split ways with the other members, with the thought in mind that Hardcore and metal was more their outlet in music than hip hop.They changed the name to Drain-Life and it became more of an hardcore/Metalcore band with influences like Madball and Sick Of It All and the stream of Metalcore bands at that period of time like: All Out War, 25 Ta Life, Merauder, Morning Again, Arkangel and many more. Due to various struggles with bandmembers it never really came of the ground. Now a decade later they have dedicated members from other hardcore bands, and trough the years it grew from Hip Hop to old school Hardcore to a Metalcore band with brutal riffs, phat mosh parts and beatdown breakdowns.As maintaining Hardcore elements and sounding like a Metal band at times, Drain Life is certainly not withdrawn to only one kind of Hardcore/Metal style, which means they are keeping an open mind to all kinds of Hardcore and Metal and just play whatever they want. They have an explosive presentation with Mosh as the basis and Played with bands like Kickback, Merauder, Born From Pain, Sworn Enemy, 100 Demons and many more, being in the game for almost ten years, gave them the security they needed and made them more motivated than ever...
