It was a time when restaurants and bars never allowed metal bands to perform live and gigs didn't take place as frequently as it happens now. The Pit started as a self sponsored event and the first five volumes took place in Tapan Theatre, the first three volumes being free gigs.

Countless grievances exterminated in the silence of darkness. Obnoxious agendas perpetually terrifying the souls of freedom. Brothers of blood surrounding in the mask of destruction. A total carnation amongst the flute of pessimists. A nefariously nether world of mob contemplated in the flesh of reptiles. We are the desperation!! A living contradiction amongst misery's cry Wailing the invasions of paradox.
