guitarist Tom Capone, bassist Sergio Vega, and drummer Alan Cage all honed their chops
in a series of local acts, including Youth of Today, the Gorilla Biscuits, and Bold and Beyond.
A self-titled EP soon followed, and in 1992, Quicksand issued their Polygram debut,
Slip, earning airplay with the single "Dine Alone." After touring in support of their
sophomore effort, 1995's Manic Compression, the group disbanded...

Quicksand's heavy metal is distinguished not by the band's hooks but by its precision,
they grind their riffs into the ground, never alleviating their intensity.
Manic Compression isn't as murky as Quicksand's major-label debut and it contains tighter,
better-constructed songs, all of which makes the band's deliberate lack of melody excusable.
Then again, the point isn't melody, Quicksand is about sheer sound, in all of its
distorted glory. If you like that sound, the album delivers the goods...(AllMusic)
