Biography

House of Krazees was formed by R.O.C. in 1993, with Paul Methric and Jamie Spaniolo performing under the names Mr. Bones and Hektic.^[1] House of Krazees' catalog was only released on Compact Cassette until the group signed to Latnem Entertainment.^[2] Problems between House of Krazees and Latnem led the group to leave the label following its 1996 album, Head Trauma.^[2] That year, the group was scheduled to tour with Insane Clown Posse and Myzery, serving as an opening act for ICP.^[1] The tour was cancelled after Insane Clown Posse was dropped by Hollywood Records.^[1]

House of Krazees officially disbanded in 1997.^[2][3] After the split, Methric and Spaniolo sent a demo tape to Insane Clown Posse member Joseph Bruce. The demo contained the tracks "2nd Hand Smoke," "Diemuthafuckadie," and "How Does It Feel?"^[3] Bruce was extremely impressed, invited Methric and Spaniolo to perform on 'The House of Horrors Tour', and signed them to Psychopathic Records. Before the tour kicked off, Bruce, Methric and Spaniolo decided on a name that they felt would fit the duo—Twiztid.^[3]
