Suiciety are a heavy metal band, which formed as Ward 13 in Melbourne in 1990, they changed their name in the following year.[1] The initial line-up was Adam Cooper on lead vocals, Doug Dalton on guitar, Cameron McNiven on drums, Karsten Poll on guitar and Stefan Poll on bass guitar.[1] Dalton was replaced by Ramon Varela on guitar.[1] Suiciety contributed their first recording, "Saddam Hussein", to a Various Artists' compilation album, From Brunswick to Babylon, for the Nomad label.[1] After providing demos, they were signed to Shock's hard rock imprint, Shagpile Records in 1992.[1] Their early performances were at inner city venues, The Tote Hotel and The Punters Club, "where all the misfits and gutter rats would congregate."[2]
Deeper Vision, the group's debut album, was released in July 1993.[1][3] German-based label Forge issued it later in the same year.[1] Suiciety supported successive tours by visiting artists, Kreator, Fear Factory, Bolt Thrower, Sepultura and Body Count over the next year.[1] "Shades of Grey", a single from the album, was released in June 1994. The band's second album, Primrose Path, was issued in November.[1] Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane felt it showed, "a greater variety in the music and stronger songs".[1] Also in that year, the group provided a cover version of AC/DC's 1979 track "Night Prowler" for a tribute album, Fuse Box: the Alternative Tribute via BMG.[1] McFarlane noticed it is "a sturdy, thrash-styled rendition".[1] They released a five-track extended play, Cell, in February 1996 before disbanding.[1]
In 2015 Suiciety reformed with Cooper, Karsten Poll and Varela joined by a new rhythm section,[4][5] to issue another EP, Crawling Machine Edition, in November on Desert Highways.[2][6] It had been written and recorded in 1996 but was never released.[1][2][5] Tex Miller of Forte observed that most of its tracks were "delectable and heavy" providing a "highly sweaty, energetic affair".[6]
