Nausea

Prior to Nausea, guitarist Victor Dominicis played in the hardcore punk bands Hellbent, Sacrilege, and Reagan Youth. Female vocalist Amy Miret was married to Agnostic Front vocalist Roger Miret until splitting up, and they have one child together. Nausea were involved in the New York City Lower East Side squatting community. Their earlier sound with singers Amy Miret and Neil Robinson was in the vein of hardcore punk, with influences such as Crass, Discharge, Black Sabbath, and Amebix. After Robinson's departure, he was replaced by Al Long and the band began to experiment with heavier metal influences, such as Slayer. Robinson went on to form the bands Jesus Crust and Final Warning, as well as starting Tribal War Records.
