"Infamous Sinphony launched at a point in time when Southern California was producing the majority of the metal world's most successful acts. The likes of Slayer, Exodus, Megadeth, D.R.I., Excel & Metallica paved the way for a new breed of crossover hardcore metal that would define the late 80's and early 90's.

The story is a common one, no different than what was happening all over the United States during this era.

Signed to Wild Rags Records, Infamous Sinphony released their debut album 'Manipulation' in 1989. Infamous's 'Manipulation' album quickly received critical acclaim in the metal media, even receiving 4 out of 5 K's in Kerrang Magazine (#234 April 15th 1989). Enjoying international distribution, 'Manipulation' became one of Wild Rags Record's most successful releases..."
