Grip Inc.  


Grip Inc. was the band formed by Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo shortly after his initial departure from that band, teaming up with former Despair guitarist (and noted producer) Waldemar Sorychta. Far from the Slayer clone some might have expected, the band evolved into an ultra-heavy late-nineties thrash band in the mold of early Machine Head, with a shade of Neurosis atmospherics and yes, the occasional Slayer influence, though those grew fewer on the later albums. Lombardo, of course, is back in Slayer and this band is probably done, though there is the chance that he might revive the project someday.
