Netherlands (2000 – present)
There is more than one artist with this name.
1) Grendel is an electro-industrial artist from Netherlands. They started out in 1997 under a different name, but due to the band splitting up the name was changed to the current one. The name Grendel originates from a character in the epic poem ‘Beowulf’.
In the early part of 2000 the 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 (a.o. in Germany, Belgium and Spain). Soon after this, Grendel started receiving requests for live gigs and (live synthesis & engineering) joined the band. Half a year later the first demo CD was released entitled ‘Inhumane Amusement’. This demo caught the ear of the German record label NoiTekk (a sub-division of Black Rain records), which convinced the label to such an extent that they signed Grendel immediately. This demo was re-mastered, re-designed and released in combination with new material in 2000 as the band’s debut album. This first release set the band’s name and received praise from throughout the scene. 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”.

The comment about most Metal now being catered just to please fans is a bit unfair...thats far from the truth, theres a lot of EBM bands catering just to please fans too, but in both genres there are the bands that really are doing original and thoughtful work. Both the Finnish Grendel and the EBM Grendel are excellent, personally I prefer Grendel to Die Sektor and Dawn of Ashes, which are the only other 2 bands in EBM that I've had a good listen too. I really like some of the stuff that both Die Sektor and Dawn of Ashes do as well though, don't get me wrong, I've mostly only heard the newest releases by all 3 bands though. What are some other EBM bands that are worth listening to? It'd be good to have a little less filler than the latest Dawn of Ashes seems to have though

Have I ever said " My music is the best" ? I don't think so. I like the finnish band, I want to say. But there's another band with the same name, so where could I say I like this band but here ?

i didnt try the melo death grendel, but my guess would be that ebm grendel makes much more thoughtful music than the one from finland. and i dont like music without thought made for the purpose of pleasing fans, which a large portion of metal has grown to be today. thats why we see people like bms, aladex and nanoslug running around shouting MY MUSIC IS BEST \m/. i dont like posers.
