In 1997, bassist Audie Pitre was killed in a road accident by a drunk driver. The band disbanded soon afterwards, having released just two studio albums during their short lifespan. Despite the short career, they are considered one of the major bands of the subgenre, alongside more long-lived bands like Eyehategod and [[Crowbar]]. |

=== Tropes that apply to this band: === |
|||
* [[Contemptible Cover]] - The artwork they used for their albums was done by several infamous serial killers such as John Wayne Gacy, Richard Ramirez, and Kenneth Bianchi. Also, the cover for ''Paegan Terrorism Tactics'' features a rather macabre painting by euthanasia activist, Dr. Jack Kevorkian. |
