Earlier bands like Lisma, Amourus, Extricator, Alienized, Epox rust, Hysteria, Scars & wounds, Neolitium, Incendiary, Royal Bastards and so on.
The group was founded i march 1986 as a quartet, The originalmembers was JJ Decay (vocals,bass), Damien (guitars, voclas), Fury (Håkan Furuskär, guitar) and Reverend Greenfield (Mats Grönmark, drums) they did their debut the 24th of april in Funhouse Järfälla outside Stockholm and played one more concert before the group was split in two camps. One who wanted to sing in english and one in swedish, and the first mentioned was Damien & which got some new members; Skinny Nutzoid (Jan Lundberg, synt), Mangan (Johan Magnusson, drums and vocals) and Nardina St:bass, guitar and vocals). This group wasn´t together for so long either( but they did record 8 songs and two of them are on our debutsingle) (1) and the new ones was called T. Reborn (Thomas Reidebornguitar) och Jocke Brünner (drums), but after some gigs this constellation split up also. JJ Decay and Damien decided to work as a duo with prerecorded drums and synths when they was gigging. Fall of 1987 came Skinny Nutzoid back and then was the group a gothinspired trio för a long time with JJ Decay on vocals, on guitar and Skinny on synth+machines. Except the singles(2) (3) and (4) we recorded a Lp(5) with own money medel . The Lp is an interesting timedocument how the group sounded then 1986-1989. 1990-1991 the group worked with Vasa (Pontus & amerikanerna, Big money) swhich produced the second ”…and now the screaming starts!”. The record never saw daylight but it resultated in the singles (6) and (7) and the last one includes Ian Hammerhill (Jan Hammarberg, el-gitarr) as a casual member . 1992 Skinny left the group to do his duoproject Spiders in web wholetime. He was replaced Lord Crumb (Fredrik Welin, synt, drummachine, programming) from the groups Black Paul, Revolverkäke and so on. And (8) was recorded but 1995 he couldn´t be in the group anymore and he lives as a pigfarmer in the south of Sweden. Right this time Flom (Mats From, guitars,drummachine, programming) was involved in the group but he chosed of economic reasons prior some discoprojects , so then in october 1996 JJ Decay and Damien got together with Full Throttle and Johnny Glue (Johnny Solberg, guitar) both from the covergroup Bodies and short thereafter Starpunk came to the group and (10) was a fact. 1998 hade the groups tentacles reached to Germany there(9) was released but Johnny Glue was forced to left the group due to tinnitus and Starpunk changed bass to guitar and Killer krax (Håkan Lindström) played bass without any bigger success and his recordings was rerecorded by someone else in the group and he got fired But he´s on the records (11) (12) (13) and(14). And after that the group got a new label, german Deliria noise outfitters and they got so poor and that did that the album Like crows on the slaughterhouse fence got one year late out. And it was the american label Neat Damned Noise like the group and decided to release (17) in the same time as Devils shitburner release (15) and later this year release (18) too. In yearr 2001 some new blood injected the group, that was the young Dragboy he was in the group and they did (16) which was recorded in augist 2001 and was released by Reanimator records.

Why the name?
Damien: We was rehearsal with a lot of communist female punks in Funhouse(Järfälla) and all thought we were pathetic idiots which sang about mosnters, death and sex so we decided that the name suit us well and that made them even more angry. On our first concert we were thinking of shwoing animalporno but the whole thing was stopped.
Please tell me a little about every member, age , family and something horrible about every one?

You have done many records on many different labels, howcome?
Damien: We only release records on very small labels so they don´t last so long but Stuhlgang/DSB records have released more than one record with SEX SEX SEX but of course we want a bigger label but we´re a punkband so a little suits us fin so we can do the most as we want.

You´re satisfied with the new record, where did the title came from?
Deacy: The title is about the musicjournalists and other people who eats dead animals and all other people who want some part of the rotten corpse. Mick Jagger said some similar things in a 70´s movie.
Damien: The title have Decay talking about for years and now it´s gotta be that title we thought. We have often the title ready before the music. Yeah we´re satisfied with the record and it´s fucking fun to release in USA. LP-version comes in may 2002(with some extra songs)

Damien: The ones that we have got is good everyone and I think the record is going to sell OK.
Which is the most peculiar review you have got?

Do you care about reviews?
Decay: No, but sometimes they´re really funny.
Damien: No, but as a small band you´re fucking depending of them anyway if you want to sell some records and can´t you sell any records you can´t get any contract so evrything is the one and same thing. So vene if you don´t care or care about they´re stil important
What is punk for you, is it only a word?
Damien: A fucking mess and freedom to play wrong.
What gets you going, you don´t sell a million records?
Damien: It´s like a poison. I have many times thoiught of quit doing this and then you get a new song in your head and must test it. And then it´s fucking fun
Which record have sold the most and how much do you sell?
Damien: I don´t know which who have sold the most but I think the fullengths are about 1500 and that so much the labels must sell to get it together. For us pretty uninteresting if we sell 100 or 1000 records because this is a sort of psychotherapy for us. We get out some aggressions ,we can meet, drink some beer and play, that we as a bonus make record is also fun.
How did the average Sex Sex Sex listener look like?
Decay: Castrated, not doing too much and don´t care about nothing(a little like Garfield),
Damien: It´s 2 types of people, one of them are a 16 years old which have been mobbed in school and want to end life for all and be a king. The other one is an ordinary rock n roll guy which likes a little morbid things
