Band information

Syphilis is (or perhaps was)a Sydney death/grind band with allegiances to Blood Duster and Regurgitate, with technical death metal parts ala Dying Fetus. The group was started mainly for fun by Peric and Glanzman in 1996 and line-up details are vague as some members have joined, departed and then joined again often. Various members came from or were with Deadspawn at various times including Peric, Latsombath and Bilbija (now of Daysend).

The band seemed to go to ground with the departure of Peric and Glanzman for Infernal Method but Syphilis re-emerged and continued to play sporadically. Syphilis has now not played for some time and it could be that the band has finished.
