1) Grendel is a harsh ebm artist from Netherlands. They started out in 1997 under a different name, but due to the band splitting up the name was changed into the current one. VLRK continued under the name Grendel, which originates from a character from the old Anglo-Saxon tale 'Beowulf'.
In 2000 Grendel's first promo CD was released which included the Dutch dance floor hit 'Strangers'. Within a very short period of time the promo was being played at many locations throughout the Netherlands and internationally.
To follow this up, the "End of Ages EP" was released in 2002 and marked new territory for Grendel with tracks such as the international hit title-track "End of Ages", the pounding "Catastrophe" and the intriguing "Noisome". With the unorthodox and original use of orchestration, obscure samples incorporated with harsh and pounding EBM structures this release again recieved almost only great reactions from both the media and listeners and would set Grendel's sound for the future.
In 2003, Grendel recorded their second full-length release, entitled "Prescription : Medicide". This album took another step deeper into the world of [Grendel] with it's complex, yet harsh, pounding & danceable structures, dismal orchestration and distressed nature. It meant a big breakthrough for the band, recieving many great reviews, becoming album of the month in a.o. Zillo and Orkus plus reaching top 5 positions in underground charts world wide.
Later, "Soilbleed" was released, which instantly became an unmissable dancefloor classic. This gained a huge amount of support, great reviews and maintained top 5 positions in a.o. the DAC & DUC for maximum periods. As a consequence of this EP's success, the band was highly occupied with performances and tours world wide for the next year and a half.
In 2006, VLRK and new members found time to work on their third full length album entitled "Harsh Generation". This album marked new territory for the band, which a more matured sound and style, gaining more support and success & taking them to the top of the genre. After it's release in early 2007, this album remained on top 5 positions (often peaking at no. 3) on the DAC and GEWC and remained there for maximum periods of time.
Finally, Grendel is back in the studio, producing their upcoming EP "Chemicals & Circuitry" plus yet to be titled album, both set for release this summer on Infacted, Metropolis and Gravitator Records. With these new releases, Grendel verges further into new territories and continues to deliver cutting edge harsh EBM!

The lyrics of Grendel's song "Wheels in Motion" seem to convey a message about the cyclical nature of life, and how we are all caught up in the never-ending cycle of spinning and turning. The repetition of the phrase "We all just spin and spin" emphasizes this theme and creates a sense of monotony and inevitability. The line "And then we turn around" suggests that even though we may try to change our direction or break free of the cycle, we inevitably end up back where we started.
The song's hypnotic beat and repetitive lyrics create a sense of trance-like meditation and introspection, as if we are being pulled into a vortex of endless movements. The feeling of being caught up in a never-ending cycle is both suffocating and comforting at the same time, as it provides a sense of stability and routine, but also a lack of freedom and autonomy.
Line by Line Meaning
We all just spin and spin
Life is a repetitive cycle that we keep going through.
And then we turn around
But sometimes we stop and reflect on our actions and choices.
We all just spin
We are all part of this endless cycle, whether we like it or not.
Turn, spin, around
We are trapped in this cycle and it's hard to break free.
