Backslider was formed in 1981 by Jan Sagon - guitar, Peter Van Herck - bass & Michel "Mich" De Vlaminck - drums. Thanks to an advertisment they soon found the vocalist Paul Syniawsky (ex. The Modes, Paul's Collection, White Heat). According to Paul, he was forced to leave White Heat because their record company didn't think his voice was strong enough to record an LP with them. A second guitarist turned out to be a necessity as well, and the missing link was found in Marc Herremans, in early 1982.
BACKSLIDER kept on rehearsing for another six months and then recorded their first demo.
On January 8th 1983 Backslider played at Jagersrust in Zandvliet. Around that time, in early 1983, Marc Herremans left (he would soon join Deep Throat) and was soon replaced by Eric Callaerts (ex White Fang). Eventually guitarist Jan Sagon left Backslider aswell, as he decided to focus on his studies.
In early 1984 the song "Beautiful People" was included on an obscure and nowadays rare compilation LP entitled "C'est Pas De La Crotte!", which was released through Music Lovers Association. In December of 1984 Backslider recorded a second demo. Shortly thereafter Eric Callaerts left the band. More info at: http://users.telenet.be/denofiniquitybe/backslider.htm
