The band's name was originally Cyberchrist, although this was changed within a few months to Velvet Acid Christ,
named (so they say) in honor of a bad acid trip. Grig left the band in 1992, leaving the core of Bryan and Chris.

The press guy was Thorsten Stroht (former Klinik vocalist) and at that time one of the main people

Money issues reared it ugly head, and the band was torn apart again. One member left permanently.
Disease carried on with others from the Toxic Coma line up
to re-write half of the Calling Ov The Dead demo and turn it into what it is now.
The album features many samples from movies like: Se7en, Scream, Twelve Monkeys, Sleepers,
Hellraiser: Bloodline, Assassins, Extreme Measures and also samples from the video game Harvester.
Velvet Acid Christ is now solely Bryan Erickson.
