Band information

Beijing Tank formed in Brisbane in 2003 as a three-piece of Hirvonen, Gemzik and Dumble. Their self-titled four-track demo from that year showed Beijing Tank to be a mixture of technical metal, mathcore and avant-garde. Schiffke joined the band in early 2004 and then began playing live, supporting Pungent Stench at the beginning of 2005 and releasing a six-track EP mid-year that was co-produced with former Devolved vocalist Nik Carpenter. Dumble left the band in early 2006.
