Bile is an American industrial metal project based in New York City. Although there have been many different members throughout the band’s career, Krztoff is the songwriting, recording and conceptual leader. The group has performed with as many as 11, and as few as two people on stage. The early shows in 1993–95 New York included a dominatrix and fire-breather.

HISTORY

Beginning in 1992, Bile began as a performance art project. The band became a top-drawing New York City live spectacle, which led to them signing with a New York-based indie record label and releasing three albums on Energy Records, including their debut, Suckpump, Teknowhore and Biledegradable.

Following tours with Gwar, 16Volt, and numerous lineup changes, the band grew dissatisfied with Energy Records and negotiated their way off the label, inciting Krztoff and R.H. Bear (Krztoff’s longtime friend and bandmate) to regroup and record for their own label, Bile Style Records.

TOURING

Bile has played and toured the U.S. extensively with artists such as Pigface, KMFDM, Korn, Marilyn Manson, OhGr, Gwar, Misfits, and Rammstein.
