Sadistik Exekution

Now for a journey to the land down under!  The Australian scene is one of the most prolific scenes in existence.  Like all extreme metal scenes, this one got its start in the 1980s.  Early bands like the extreme thrash groups Hobbs Angel of Death and Slaughter Lord more or less paved the way for later bands.  But it was the mid- to later 1980s that saw the emergence of death and black metal bands in Australia.  SADISTIK EXEKUTION was one such band.

Sadistik Exekution are truly odd bastards...

Sadistik Exekution formed in 1986, in Sydney, Australia.  They supposedly recorded their first album, The Magus, that same year, but it didn't see the light of day until 1991.  In the 1980s, the only SadEx release that did see the light of day was a 1987 demo.  See below for a sampling of what that demo sounded like:

Here is their 1987 demo in full

In 1991, SadEx pummeled the world with their demo Suspiral, the "Sadistically Exekuted" single, and the long-delayed The Magus full-length album.  Their style was chaotic, insane, and ridiculously fast.  The uninitiated might go far as to call it noise.  The influence of extreme thrash as well as punk can be heard.

"Lupercalia" is off of their first album

Following the 1992 demo Agonizing the Dead, SadEx has put out a fairly steady stream of releases every few years or so.  Full-length albums such as 1996's We Are Death...Fukk You!, 1997's K.A.O.S., and 2002's Fukk simply continued the chaotic, over-the-top style of SadEx.  To some, their songs border on the ridiculous.

Over-the-top doesn't even begin to describe this song from 2002's Fukk

From 2004's Fukk II, the insanity continues...

I also found this short clip of an interview:
