We started out around 2003-2004 as a side project that eventually evolved into a full-time hardcore machine. Influenced by the early-mid 90's hardcore scene, which is the music they grew up with, they set out to shake the very foundations of the local hardcore punk scene which was plagued by the commercially oriented 'hardcore' types to the non-stop whining artsy-fartsy types (when they have everything in the world and no reason to whine about). Our first release was a split CD with local HC contempraries, SAUNA from Batangas, which gave a sign of things to come for the local scene. We have recently released our second effort, a split CD with Baltimore's finest, PULLING TEETH! This split was released with the help of the guys from Take Four Collectie, Major Malfunction and Delusion of Terror Records. Check this CD out, as we believe this is our finest effort so far, and if not for us, check out the PT side! F'n awesome band!! Thanks to everyone who helped us out and showed their support to our recently concluded Malaysia/Singapore Tour and we're seriously considering doing it again because it is the best times we had as a band!

Pulling Teeth are a brutal metallic hardcore/punk band from Baltimore, MD.
Featuring former members of Slumlords, The Spark, Desperate Measures, and Never Enough, they play a furious style of metal influenced hardcore. Combining the classic power of Integrity and Poison Idea, with the apocalyptic heaviness of newer bands Cursed, Tragedy, etc.
Pulling Teeth released "Vicious Skin" on Chainsaw Safety/A389 in late 2006. The album was considered the sleeper punk/hardcore album of the year, receiving fantastic reviews from press worldwide.
In early 2007, Pulling Teeth released a split 7"EP with UK's Frightener on Dom's label, A389. A release that was followed up by their beast of an album "Martyr Immortal on Deathwish in 2008.
"Paranoid Delusions | Paradise Illusions" is the latest work from Baltimore hardcore mainstays, Pulling Teeth. Painstakingly recorded and engineered by Chris Camden at Ultrasound over a three month period, "Paranoid Delusions | Paradise Illusions" is a conceptual piece of immense artistic depth and darkness.
Songs like the bruising "Unsatisfied" dig deep to reveal monstrous dirges that rival any doom metal artist. While the Slayer influenced "Bloodwolves" is as volatile and infectious as a song can be. Though the aforementioned songs are truly brilliant works, it is Pulling Teeth's new found mastery of emotional ebb and flow which shines as their real strength. This awe inducing quality is revealed in the stunning two title tracks, "Paranoid Delusions | Paradise Illusions". Collectively both songs are a monumental achievement of soulful guitar work, Moog driven textures, and insightful prose. A near perfect example of how a band can evolve without abandoning the heart and raw energy that defines the "hardcore/punk" genre at its very core. (from Deathwish Inc. website)
