Hailing from Bangkok, Thailand, Smallpox Aroma proudly play ferocious grindcore with the traditional format of blastbeats and D-beats. Perceptibly, one can hear influences from well-known and underground grindcore, goregrind, and crust acts like PLF, Captain Cleanoff, Insect Warfare, early Napalm Death, Nasum, early Rotten Sound, Disrupt, Krigshot, Flesh Parade, Magrudergrind, Last Days of Humanity, and GUT among others.
Chronologically, Smallpox Aroma were formed in early 2006 by Polwach “Goredick” Beokhaimook on drums/vocals and Nutpanawat “Zox” Kensing on guitars. Later within the year, Pratchaya “L.S.” Chaichana joined the band as another guitarist. Due to invitation, Apirak “Septictanklavatory” Treesuksakul joined the band as the guitarist a few months later, with Zox shifting to be on bass and L.S. on vocals. In January 2007, Zox left the band due to personal reasons; L.S. became the bassist along with his sole vocal duty, bringing the current lineup up to date. To date, Smallpox Aroma have released six splits, an EP, a demo, and a live album as well as three compilations.
