SULLEN
In 1997, Full of songs and lyrics, Terry convinced Pat Wombacher, the Drummer from Victims, to play Bass in his new project, Sullen. With Pat on board, and Scott Young, a power drummer, the 3-piece was complete. Based on influences from Nirvana, Black Sabbath, Monster Magnet, Kyuss/QOTSA, and an eclectic range of others, Sullen quickly churned out 30+ originals in their first year. With Pat and Terry having played together for several years and hundreds of live shows beforehand, it added an extra element of chemistry and tightness to the band. Sullen has over 40 original songs, and plays over 50 cover songs (including 40+ Nirvana covers, see BLEACH below). Sullen has played near 100 shows in 6 years of playing.

The pair hooked up with Kevin Warren and Ryan Rook, who played together in PIKER, a popular Eugene punk band that had recently split. Instant chemistry ensued and DOMESTICIDE was born, bringing a unique sound to the Eugene, Oregon area.
