Biography

History

In late 2000,[2] after the dissolution of Aus-Rotten, two former members of that band, Dave Trenga and Matt Garabedian, formed Behind Enemy Lines along with Bill Chamberlain (also of The Pist and Caustic Christ) on guitar, and Matt Sachs, formerly of Devastation on bass. Mary Bielich and Matt Tuite (both former members of Pittsburgh doom metal band Penance) joined later, playing bass and guitar respectively.[1]

In 2007, Chamberlain was replaced by Ken Houser.[4]

Lyrical themes

Lyrics covered a range of political topics, including: animal rights, environmentalism, human rights, LGBT rights, anti-religion and anti-capitalism. The band is noted for its harsh criticism of George W. Bush, especially on issues concerning the Iraq War, Abu Ghraib, subversion of human rights under the Patriot Act and the government response to Hurricane Katrina.

Dave Trenga wrote essays detailing his political opinion on both his Myspace blog and Behind Enemy Line's website. He demonstrated a strong distaste for Christianity, stating "I have never seen such a hateful and intolerant movement infiltrate every aspect of our lives as the current Christian movement in America has" and concluded, "I only hope I see this movement fall in my lifetime."

[de] Behind Enemy Lines

Behind Enemy Lines ist eine US-amerikanische Band, die im Herbst 2000 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania von Mitgliedern der Band Aus-Rotten, kurze Zeit vor deren Auflösung, gegründet wurde. Die Musik von Behind Enemy Lines lässt sich am ehesten als Anarcho-Punk im Stil der frühen 1990er Jahre mit einigen Metal-Einschlägen beschreiben. Thematisch beschäftigen sich die Lieder der Band mit System- und Religionskritik, Globalisierung, der Hungerproblematik und ähnlichem. Behind Enemy Lines bleibt musikalisch und inhaltlich näher an ihre Vorgängerband angelehnt als Caustic Christ, die zweite Band, die aus der Trennung von Aus-Rotten hervorging.
