Later that year Broadmore added a new vocalist, [[Tristam Murdoch]], freeing Broadmore to focus on writing, programming and bass-playing. They were initially very heavily influenced by deathmetal bands such as ''Carcass''. However the project's industrial, ambient and electronic influences became increasingly dominant over a relatively short period of time. <br> |
| − | + | Finding little if any likeminded souls in Hamilton during the early '90s, the band had been more successful at Auckland events such as ''Technohell 1'' in 1991 (at which Hamilton's [[Love and Violence]] also appeared). Here they played alongside Auckland's ''Sawchain'' and Palmerston North's ''Froithead''; both bands merging the influence of heavier guitar-based music with experimental electronic and industrial elements. Broadmore, Murdoch and Amiga 500 moved to Auckland in 1992 leaving ''Woods'' behind, and recruited guitarist ''Dion Workman'' from ''Sawchain'' to replace him. The sound resulting from Broadmore and Workman's collaborations was compared to early ''Fear Factory'', ''Godflesh'', ''Voivod'', ''Pitchshifter'', ''Scorn'' and others of the ambient/industrial/metal crossover set. <br> | |
| − | + | ''Lungfeast'' released a five song cassette titled [[Inside]] in 1992 and appear to have disbanded in around 1993 when ''Workman'' became a member of the seminal improvised rock trio ''Thela''. Founding member ''Greg Broadmore'' returned to Hamilton where in the mid-'90s his project [[Nihil]] effectively picked up where work with ''Lungfeast'' had left off, and during roughly the same timeframe was also one of three founding members of [[Ghidrah]]. He has achieved considerable success both nationally and on the world stage as a visual artist (see [[Greg Broadmore]]), and has been based in Wellington for several years.<br> | |
