Bio: The conjuring of Hanz Krypt occurred in the beginning of 1983 In Torrance California, when founding members Mark Hayes and Dave Schlom (original drummer) replied to an ad in Recycler magazine placed by Phil Pedretti, which read "lead guitar player looking for band". They all agreed to meet and jam, and the rest is history, Hanz Krypt was Born! Soon to be joined by John Cochran (Vermin, L.S.N., Granite Waves) on 2nd guitar and Robbie Wolfe on vocals. This lineup lasted 6 months until the direction that Hanz Krypt and the direction that John Cochran wanted to go was different. John preferring the newer speed thrash metal and Hanz Krypt who stayed true to their dark gloomy Black Sabbath roots. They parted ways with their friend John, and he went on to form the L.A. thrash metal band Vermin along with Vince Ferrantino on Vocals. Larry Farkas was added to Hanz Krypt as a second guitar player and both bands went on to play shows together in the LA area. Shortly after that they knew Vince was the front man vocalist, they were looking for, so they asked Vince to leave Vermin and join Hanz Krypt... the rest is history....
