Leng Tch’e, aka “death by a thousand cuts”, is an ancient Chinese torture ritual where the victim has been doped up and is being cut into bits. The victim doesn’t feel a thing of this procedure until it’s far too late and death is unavoidable.
Leng Tch’e, the band, formed in early 2001, basing their own hybrid of Grindcore on bands such as Regurgitate, Hemdale, Nasum and Bloöd Düster and mixing it all up with some Stoner / Rock / Hardcore influences, the band baptized their own unique style, now known as “razorgrind”.
The quintet recorded two albums that have been released by The Spew Records in Europe while Willowtip issued the much talked about “Man made predator” in the USA in ’03. Leng Tch’e then signed a deal with Relapse for their next album, “The process of elimination” in 2005.
In 2006 the band released a split CD with French Grindcore band Warcars on Bones Brigade records. This release served as a preview for the upcoming full length album and saw the band continuing to hone their craft by writing longer and more complex songs without losing touch of the extreme brutality they were known for.
Leng Tch’e dropped the hammer in 2007 with “Marasmus” (Relapse). A split EP with Fuck The Facts followed in 2008 and the new full-length, “Hypomanic” (Season Of Mist) in 2010.
