Kevin Srednep

Kevin, videographer, mask maker and musician was born in Heerlen, The Netherlands, also the birth place of his dark-side known as Psyclown - a alias heavily influenced by his taste in Gabber, Hardcore and all things Metal. In his alias, Kevin quickly gained a reputation through performing with some of the biggest names in the genre and spawning an underground movement through conjuring up [l=Psyclown Records] and channelling plenty of blood splattered videos. His blood-soaked recipe served as a platform for his opposition to anything that divides society with live shows often leaving a trail of gore, fights with the crowd and self-mutilation in his wake. An encounter with Glenn Benton through Myspace in 2010 led a remix of 'Satan Spawn', The Caco-Daemon', this was his first contact in the Metal world. He continued as a producer when he moved to Sweden, which led to an encounter with Mike Sarkisyan of Spineshank, which culminated into working collaboratively on a Self Titled demo EP. A new darkness emerged on the other side of the 2013 recording; one that would come to replace the terror of Psyclown and replace it with the brutality of Srednep. In 2016, Psyclown Records became obsolete and Srednep reinvented itself as a trio. Kevin decided to crank up the metal after the band's 2013 Silence EP, ditching the electronics with Suffocations Kevin Talley as their drummer. Through this revitalized line-up, Srednep unleashed their debut album Social Masks upon the masses in 2017. In 2018, his Trap / Metalrap alias Kevin Srednep emerged and later on summoned Psyclown ones again as his schizophrenic second personality, who will be taking care of the darker sounds which gives him the chance to explore both the dark side, and more mainstream side of music. He also started mask making again after a long hiatus for musicians and collectors all around the globe. (Biography by Ben Spencer)
