What you are listening to here is a 4-track recording from 1999. "Silent But Deadly" & "J.I.F." were 2 songs written that same year, but "Telefuck" was written in 1992 when the band formed. Read below for the full story.....

BIO:
Bowel Movement began in 1992 as a side project of 3 of the 4 members of Dayton, Ohio's DECAY, when Decay's vocalist quit the band. 

While searching for a new vocalist, the remaining 3 members, Brian Harris, Randy Gaines, and Mike Nye decided to put together a hardcore/grind/thrash band to not only keep their chops up, but also for something different from the music that Decay was producing.

With all 3 members having influences from old school hardcore and punk bands such as Sick of it All, Agnostic Front Cro-Mags, Day-Glo Abortions & Reagan Youth..as well as some grindcore influences from Terrorizer, Napalm Death and Repulsion....Bowel Movement was born!

To avoid having to find a vocalist to join this side project, drummer Brian Harris volunteered to handle the vocal duties while bashing away behind the kit. Immediately the trio began the writing process!

BM wrote 6 songs in 1992, played a few shows and hung it up in 1993 when Decay was back up and running with a new vocalist.

BM got back together in 1999 for a short time, wrote another 5 songs, recorded a 4-track recording of all 11 songs, played a couple more shows, and then hung it up once again.

In January of 2015, the guys decided to once again get the band back together. They are currently writing some brand new songs to add to the other 11 already written and will be heading into the studio hopefully by summer 2015. 

In the meantime, be ready to witness the energy, live and in your face!

Taken from Michael's 2001 instrumental album "Sketches from the Thought Chamber", these are the 3 songs I played on. Enjoy! You can purchase these songs and the rest of the album on Amazon.com 

Below is a review of the album. 

Review by Keith "MuzikMan" Hannaleck

Michael Harris is being touted as one of the best guitarist around, right up with the Satriani's, Vai's, and other guitar Gods of our age. Your probably saying, "Yeah right, the second coming of Clapton, sure. Well probably not, there is only on Clapton. As far as I am concerned there aren't that many guitarist around that can play clean, fast, and with plenty of technical expertise. Harris can, and he will turn your head in a heartbeat. If you're a prog-rock head or an instrumental freak (like me) you will appreciate this CD.

The sound and engineering is courtesy of Kol Marshall, and it's fabulous. Harris's proficiency on the six-string deserves the extra attention in the control room from those guys turning the knobs. Harris also has a hand in the production with help from John Purdom.

The first track 'Prognosis' is an ever-changing dynamo stopping the clock at 8:03; it's a typical multi-part prog song reflecting the general time frame off the genre. 'Regroovination,' what a title for a song, just beautiful. Harris makes sure you are re-grooved forever with that track. 'Voyage To Xyrethius' is five part journey to another land, the guitar playing makes sure that the story is told in all five parts, just as the song is listed.

You may never listen to instrumental guitar the same again after hearing this. Was I blown away? You bet. You know, with all the music that I hear it takes a helluva lot to knock my socks off…this did with ease. This is a great CD. Get it now. If you think that this may not be as good as I say it is? You will 'Eat Your Words.'
