September of the 1997 marked the beginning of plenty of activity for the band. After six years of participating in thrash band "ULTRA" the two guitar players, Deniss Melnik and Anatoly Kirillov formed a new outfit called "GUST OF ANGER". Alex (drums) and Alexey (bass), were invited to join from local band, "MORTMAIN" With them onboard, the demo "CILVIL PEACE" was produced and the band's style became noticeably harsher, following the styles of bands like "MACHINE HEAD", "STUCK MOJO" and "PANTERA".
The band started to perform successfully around the Baltic States and earned a great reputation relatively quickly. Their new style and energetic musicians helped earn them respect on the indie circuit.
After the initial success of "CIVIL PEACE", the band decided to incorporate a new agenda, which would be able to compete with the popular bands from West.. Gigs were scheduled around the Baltic States, new tracks introduced and regular venues and new sets were created.
Raw demo tracks were used on the debut album because at the time no producer was attached to the band. Since then we have auditioned four candidates: Andy Sneap, Colin Richardson, Daniel Bergstrand and Thomas Hedqvist. After careful consideration we arrived at the decision to go with the ingenious Swede, Daniel Bergstrand, known for his work with bands like Strapping Young Lad, Stuck Mojo and Meshuggah amongst others.
After settling organizational issues, GOA invite well known Swedish drummer Perra Johansson (ex-Crawley, Lost Souls) to guest star. As it was expected he fully justified every band member expectations with his talented drumming and performed flawlessly.
But Sweden is Sweden and Latvia is Latvia and after returning home the band decided to reinstate their old drummer, Taras Kuzmenko, known chiefly for his work in "ULTRA" After rehearsals and Taras' full integration to the band, they performed several gigs in Latvia, most noticeably in early festival "Sinepes un Medus", where they scooped the coveted "Newcomer of the Year"award.
Since then, public performances with the bands "Overkill", "Annihilator" and "Cannibal Corpse" have kept them in the forefront of the Latvian music scene and seen the bands popularity continue to soar.
Sadly, following the gigs, bass player Alex Privash left the band for personal reasons and subsequently Sergei Karshev (Neglected Fields) was invited to join as his replacement.
The gigs that have followed, seem to confirm the fans opinions that GOA is one of the hottest modern metal bands across the ex-USSR.
After a quiet period during 2003, the band decided to change the line up once again and hired singer Alex Redko (ex-Ultra, Distant Light) to replace Anatoly.
The latest tracks are more impressive than those on "Natural Hostility"
As the singer and bass player wanted to move in another style direction, in November of 2004, singer Roman (ex-Flamespirit) and bass player Deniss (ex-XXX) joined the band and the name of the band was changed to "Trendkill Method" The new lineup continue to perform successfully and are currently mixing the new album "Methodistortion" with their recording/mixing engineer Sergey, at the "Wolk recording studios". Mastering was done by Colin E.Davis (Vile).As a result, the band has recently signed contracts with KAP-KAN Records (Russia), and Reality Entertaiment (rest of the world).
