New Jersey's I.D.K. is the brainchild of '80s heavy metal aficionado-cum-punk rock fanatic Red, and the bandmembers cut their teeth in the tough-as-nails regional hardcore scene before signing with extreme metal powerhouse Earache for the release of their debut EP. Following the completion of their first U.S. tour, they then moved to Music Cartel before recording 1998's Til Death Do Us Part full-length. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
