The two met at a show Steve Stine was playing at in the U.S. They began writing songs back and forth, via email and GrimmStine is the result. The band was formed in 2008, and released an album, the self-titled "GrimmStine", independently the same year.
The band's style is a mix of classic and modern metal to create a CD of great diversity.

To Catch a Killer
Grimmstine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of a good old boy at heart
But inside the dragon demon
Has made it his own art
No one would believe it
No it can’t be him
But every victim of this cruel cruel man
Suffered at his whim
Played upon the innocence
Of the unsuspecting man
Who died in pain and misery
Catch me if you can
Woo-o-oh, To catch a killer
No one sees him as that kind
Woo-o-oh, To catch a killer
Inside the killer demon lies
Buried in the crawl space
Among brothers in your death
The only one that knows your there
Is a physic
Hold your breath
Its only one mans disbelief
Of the killers innocence
And the victim of this killer clown
Get there reckon pence
Woo-o-oh, To catch a killer
No one sees him as that kind
Woo-o-oh, To catch a killer
Inside the killer demon lies
To catch a killer x2
Yeah
Killer x2
Yeah yeah
The lyrics of Grimmstine's song "To Catch a Killer" are a powerful portrayal of the insidious nature of evil. The song tells the story of a man who presents himself as a "good old boy" but is actually a cold-blooded killer, driven by a demonic inner voice that he has turned into an art. The song suggests that the killer is able to fool everyone around him, appearing innocent and even charming. However, the victims of his cruelty expose the truth about his true nature, and it is up to others to catch him before he causes more pain and misery.
The lyrics suggest that the killer is especially good at playing upon the innocence of those around him. He targets unsuspecting victims and causes them to die in pain and misery. The chorus of the song emphasizes the challenge of catching such an elusive killer, who is able to hide his true nature from everyone, including law enforcement. The lyrics create a sense of urgency and tension, making it clear that the killer must be caught and brought to justice before more innocent people suffer.
