S.I.B. (3) – Swelling Itching Brain

This album consists of a collection of (demo) tracks from the pre-Stratvm Terror project S.I.B. (Swelling Itching Brain), active in Mjölby, Sweden between 1991-1993. The band name was taken from a Devo track from 1979. S.I.B. did never release anything officially but did a number of live shows in the Mjölby region. First S.I.B played a synth-EBM mixture but later in 1993 S.I.B. embraced a more harsh style which would beceome the seed of Stratvm Terror. Some of the last S.I.B. tracks were even used for Stratvm Terror.

All music by S.I.B. 1991-1993. All time members were Peter Andersson, Tobias Larsson and Daniel Jansson (now Althorn). Early temporary members were Fredrik Angenfelt whose only effort was to buy the worst equipment ever (a Kawai Spectra synth) and Daniel Möller (maybe the only one in the world who could sing more monotonous than Andrew Eldritch).
