Biography
"RooT are a metal band from Southampton/Salisbury! This site should tell you all you need to know! Root formed in the summer of 2002, when vocalist Rob got tired of his job as an international secret agent and decided that instead of blowing up terrorists, he would save the world through the powers of heavy metal. However he could do this alone, and so he set about creating an elite force for heavy metal ninjas with which to form a band. Using his Fisherprice chemistry kit, he was able to use the DNA codes from one of Tom Morrello's snotty tissues to clone up guitarist Laurie in his lunch hour at work. The circle was completed by drum master Riddles who was bought on ebay for a mere £5,000,000. Together the three of them began their mission, but Rob soon realised there was problem in that he could not actually play the bass. So he swiftly dialed up legendary porn star Rikki Vibes from his former band to complete the four piece, and thus the quest to save the earth began... "
In early 2003, all mentions of RooT on their website were switched with "Malice", which featured Simon Ridley but it is unknown if any of the other members remained; real names were replaced by pseudonyms and the band adopted a pirate theme. Malice remained active until around 2005.
