Helmed by vocalizer Spider (aka Michael Cummings, as well know as Spider One or MC Spider, the younger brother of Rob Zombie), the Boston-based subway electro-metal ring Powerman 5000 earned a democratic cult following along the East Coast with the release of their 1994 indie debut EP, Genuine Force, and 1995's LP The Blood Splat Rating System, the latter of which appeared on Conscience Records. Two eld later, the isthmus touched to Dreamworks (and resettled to Los Angeles), where they released a revamped version of their debut as Mega!! Kung Fu Radio.


Touring with the likes of Marilyn Manson and Korn, as well as a erolia minutilla on Ozzfest, expanded their fan basis and lED up to Powerman 5000's 1997 scientific discipline fiction-esque followup, Tonight the Stars Revolt! During shows and promos for the record album, the stripe was often plant card-playing spacesuits and other sci-fi gear. The record went atomic number 78, helped in contribution by the success of singles "When Worlds Collide" and "Nobody's Real" on MTV. The halted release of a since aborted record album entitled Anyone for Doomsday? signaled the leaving of longtime bassist Dorian Heartsong (aka Dorian 27) and drummer Al Pahanish (aka Al 3) in early November of 2001. A year later, drummer Adrian Ost (aka Ad7) was added to the grouping; bassist Siggy Sjursen united 40 auditions later ahead 2002 came to a close.


Powerman 5000, including Spider and longtime guitarists Adam Williams (aka Adam 12) and Mike Tempesta (aka M.33), was and then indorse in wide effect. Transform, their fourth album, pronounced the band's new more punk-inspired, less industrial wakeless and new lineup when it was released in spring 2003. It debuted at number 25 on the Billboard charts and produced a hit in the song "Free," though Dreamworks dissolved in the middle of the album's forwarding. A rarities ingathering appeared in 2004 on Spider's own Megatronic pronounce; more than lineup changes would come ahead the eventual liberation of the band's fifth uncut. Williams and Tempesta exited to be replaced on guitar by Johnny Heatley and ex-Alien Ant Farm's Terry Corso. Powerman 5000 inked a deal with DRT Entertainment in springtime 2006, and Destruct What You Enjoy surfaced that August. Subsequent circuit dates through fall were played.
