Reptiljan combines the blast-beats of grindcore and the broken rhythms 
of drill’n’bass/ breakcore, samples in everything from 1980’s heavy to 
modern hip-hop and lets in a good dose of abrasive noise and distortion.

Reptiljan is a manic burst of noise, hectic rhythms and splintered 
guitars, making the listener squirm, laugh uncontrollably and see 
lizards on the walls.

Reptiljan is a mutant radiating energy, related in spirit to artists 
like Napalm Death, Venetian Snares, Kid606, Painkiller (John Zorn, Bill 
Laswell, Mick Harris), Beherit, who are breaking the different 
boundaries of music.

Reptiljan is a violent and humoristic combination of different styles 
and something completely new.

Reptiljan is music you can laugh at! This music is far removed from the 
dead seriousness and graveness all too often connected with electronic 
music. Reptiljan’s latest gig came to a grinding halt after just three 
minutes burst of ruckus and tormented beats as the PA went silent, 
leaving the artist swearing and laughing. The audience reacted with 
applause spiced with laughter. Even the mystical Snap Crackle Pope was 
laughing into his mitre somewhere behind the curtains…!

Reptiljan is a project by Niko Skorpio. A project where he lets go all 
the energy bubbling inside him, sparing nothing. Niko Skorpio has been 
actively involved in underground music scenes from the beginning of the 
1990’s. He has behind him a number line-ups, styles and albums; this 
album by Reptiljan is the latest and certainly the loudest and most 
energetic!

The Hellbender Suite is a half-an-hour package of compressed energy, a 
dirty bomb purifying both mind and soul. In Pangrenade, blastbeats get 
layered over and over again, growing into an aggressive wall of sound, 
which collapses under its own weight in order to rise up again. 
Freegulls is arrogantly pilfering a recent hit, bending it into 
unrecognizable knots. Outauguration of the Chimp Zombie is an 
instinctual regurgitation on world politics pouring straight out from 
the spine... All in all, 11 tracks and 28 minutes.

The Hellbender Suite is dedicated to Nuclear Death, Beherit and Impetigo 
(cult bands from the change of the 80-90’s, in case you didn't know) and 
naturally to Cryptobranchus alleganiensis, who lent his name to the album.
