Asbestos Death ruled originally as a trio, with Al Cisneros, Chris Hakius and Tom Choi later expanding to a quartet with the introduction of Matt Pike on 2nd guitar. Keith Krate r.i.p. also played guitar for A.D. They recorded two 7" singles - Dejection for Profane Existence and the DIY-released Unclean. Choi left to join Noothgrush, It Is I and later Operator Generator. He is currently living in Las Vegas in a band with Sleep's friend Roy Page (whose voice introduces Sleep on their 7") they are called The Blackjetts. After Tom left Asbestos Death the remaining three recruited Justin Marler as a replacement and changed their name to Sleep.
