!T.O.O.H.! <span style="visibility: hidden;font-size:1px">!T.O.O.H.!_sentence_0</span>

(an [[Acronym|acronym]] for "The Obliteration of Humanity") is a [[Technical_death_metal|progressive death metal]] band from the [[Czech_Republic|Czech Republic]] formed in 1990. <span style="visibility: hidden;font-size:1px">!T.O.O.H.!_sentence_1</span>

Early in their career, the band's lyrics focused mainly on [[Graphic_violence|gore]], but in recent years they have focused a lot more on politics and social matters. <span style="visibility: hidden;font-size:1px">!T.O.O.H.!_sentence_2</span>

== History <span style="visibility: hidden;font-size:1px">!T.O.O.H.!_section_0</span> ==

The band was established under the name Devastator by brothers Jan and Josef Veselý in 1990, changing its name to !T.O.O.H.! <span style="visibility: hidden;font-size:1px">!T.O.O.H.!_sentence_3</span>

in 1993. <span style="visibility: hidden;font-size:1px">!T.O.O.H.!_sentence_4</span>

Jan and Josef go by the pseudonyms "Schizoid" and "Humanoid" respectively. <span style="visibility: hidden;font-size:1px">!T.O.O.H.!_sentence_5</span>

The band split up shortly after finishing the [[%C5%98%C3%A1d_a_trest|Řád a trest]] album due to financial difficulties, after being dropped by [[Earache_Records|Earache Records]], who took the album out of print two months after its release. <span style="visibility: hidden;font-size:1px">!T.O.O.H.!_sentence_6</span>

In September 2011, the band reformed as a duo. <span style="visibility: hidden;font-size:1px">!T.O.O.H.!_sentence_7</span>

In 2013, they released their fourth album, Democratic Solution, for free via their [[Facebook|Facebook]] page. <span style="visibility: hidden;font-size:1px">!T.O.O.H.!_sentence_8</span>

Democratic Solution was musically very different from their previous recordings; the band retained its progressive death metal/grindcore characteristics and complex song structures, but instead of an instrumental background, the album featured electronic instrumentation and effects, electronic drums, clean vocals and ample use of keyboards throughout compositions. <span style="visibility: hidden;font-size:1px">!T.O.O.H.!_sentence_9</span>

The resulting sound was closer to the brothers' other project, §§. <span style="visibility: hidden;font-size:1px">!T.O.O.H.!_sentence_10</span>

Critical reception of this album was divided, with some reviewers considering it as one of the band's worst, and some as one of their best works. <span style="visibility: hidden;font-size:1px">!T.O.O.H.!_sentence_11</span>

During this time the duo went public with news of Humanoid's mental health problems, as he was diagnosed with [[Paranoid_schizophrenia|paranoid schizophrenia]] during the recording of Democratic Solution. <span style="visibility: hidden;font-size:1px">!T.O.O.H.!_sentence_12</span>

The band performed their last show on 16 February 2013 in [[Ostrava|Ostrava]], and the following day they announced their disbandment due to difficulties playing live, stating that "it is for him [Humanoid] too stressful" and that "to continue as a studio project would be pointless". <span style="visibility: hidden;font-size:1px">!T.O.O.H.!_sentence_13</span>

However, on April 1, 2017 the duo announced via their Facebook page that they had been working on new material and planned to release an album sometime in 2018. <span style="visibility: hidden;font-size:1px">!T.O.O.H.!_sentence_14</span>

They added that they had laid the groundwork for three songs already, which would be in a more traditional deathgrind style, unlike the band's previous album which featured an experimental and electronic take on grind. <span style="visibility: hidden;font-size:1px">!T.O.O.H.!_sentence_15</span>

The duo said the new material would "sound like proper deathgrind with pompous passages" and "we want to go into a professional studio, where we are going to record live acoustic drums and loud guitars, and thus ensure dynamic sound quality". <span style="visibility: hidden;font-size:1px">!T.O.O.H.!_sentence_16</span>

They also established that they would continue to not play live shows, due to Humanoid's illness, with Schizoid saying that "we do not plan to play live, as Jose's [Humanoid's] diagnosis doesn't allow it". <span style="visibility: hidden;font-size:1px">!T.O.O.H.!_sentence_17</span>
