History

Jeff Schartoff and Roman Marisak were part of the nu metal band Human Waste Project, with Schartoff playing bass and Marisak acting as the band's occasional second guitarist. Originally, Professional Murder Music was supposed to act as a side project of the band, and was named after an term Schartoff used to described Human Waste Project's sound. However, when Human Waste Project disbanded in July 1998,[8] Professional Murder Music became both of the bandmembers' full time projects. The band self-released a six-song EP in November 1998, and went on tours opening for Spineshank and Fear Factory, attracting the attention of major labels.[9] On September 9, 1999, Professional Murder Music announced they had signed to Geffen Records.[10]
