This band came up from different small towns around Valencia. However, the characters they represent assure that they come from Midian, the city of the Night Breed. The band formed in the summer of 2000 as a result of the Mediterranean heat and the repugnant hate they feel to the musical ignorance existing specially in Spain. During the first years the musical trends of the band were about metal that was in fashion at that time. They continued its evolution till they finally recorded its first album after they won a rock contest on a small town in Valencia (Esplai-Tevernes Contest, La Valldigna). The first features that began to differentiate them among the other bands were their influences on horror movies and “freak subculture”. The launch of its first work called “Here comes a New Challenger” changed the course of this band because of the influence on electronic and retro sounds which became to mix up in their songs. Their peculiar songs about horror films, gore films and subculture films help them to participate in the sound tracks of a Movie Producer called Eskoria Films (Kombate Brutal, Impacto Nupcial, BridgeBlood, and other movies). This Movie Producer is managed by a very good friend of the band, therefore they even collaborate as main characters in most of his productions. After several changes in the band and one more first place in another rock contest (Morvedre Rock-Sagunto) Code Name got ahead with their new album “Bizarre Action Figures”. The album was recorded where the last album, in RPM Studios managed by Roger García and then mastered in Finnvox Studios by Mika Jussila, Finland. The two male voices of Kemao and Crazy and the third female vocalist Betty, responsible for the keyboards as well; the samplers and electric sounds of Krow; the drum rhythms of Henry W; the bass of MO-Zombie6 and the Guitar of Fuck-un. All this mixed with their amusing and full of sense of humour performances make this Monsters gang a perfect musical and visual combination to have a great time.
