Grout

Originally started as a side project by guitarist/vocalist Dave Couillou, Freak Seed burst onto the Northern Jersey metal scene in 1996 with the release of the 4 song EP, 'grout'. Together with longtime friends/band mates Jason Tremper, Keith Pieper and Joe Yutsus - Freak Seed churned out 'old school' metal which has been compared to the likes of Testament, Overkill and Metallica. Through the mid-late 90s, Freak Seed released two self-produced albums - Forward the Foundation (1996) and Ignition (1998), appeared on two compilation CDs - Eclipse Records' Outer Limits and Psykoziz Records' Tentacles of Submission, and had several songs appear in the soundtrack of Grey Sky Productions' movie 'The Master Plan'.
