September of the 1997 marked the beginning of the band. After six year spell in thrash band ULTRA the two guitar players Deniss Melnik and Anatoly Kirillov formed a new outfit called GUST OF ANGER. Alex (drums) and Alexey (bass) from local band MORTMAIN were invited to join and accepted the invitation. This lineup recorded the CILVIL PEACE demo marking became noticeably harsher sound in the style of bands like MACHINE HEAD, STUCK MOJO and PANTERA.

The band started to perform successfully around the Baltic States and earned a great reputation relatively quickly. New style and energetic musicians helped "GUST OF ANGER" earn respect on the indie circuits.After the initial success of "CIVIL PEACE", the band decided to step forward and try to compete with the popular bands from West. Gigs around the Baltic States were scheduled, new tracks introduced and regular venues and new sets were created.

Raw demo tracks were used for the debut album because at the time no producer was working with the band. Since then four candidates auditioned: Andy Sneap, Colin Richardson, Daniel Bergstrand and Thomas Hedqvist. After careful consideration we decided to go with the ingenious Swede, Daniel Bergstrand, known for his work with bands like Strapping Young Lad, Stuck Mojo and Meshuggah amongst others.

After settling organizational issues, GOA invited well known Swedish drummer Perra Johansson (ex-Crawley, Lost Souls) as guest star. As it was expected he fully justified every band member expectations with his talented drumming and performed flawlessly.But Sweden is Sweden and Latvia is Latvia and after returning home the band decided to reinstate their old drummer, Taras Kuzmenko, known mainly for his work in "ULTRA". After rehearsals and Taras' full integration into the band, GOA played several gigs in Latvia, most noticeably in early festival "Sinepes un Medus", where they scooped the coveted "Newcomer of the Year" award.

Since then, public performances with the bands "Overkill", "Annihilator" and "Cannibal Corpse" have kept them in the forefront of the Latvian music scene and seen the bands popularity continue to soar. Sadly, following the gigs, bass player Alex Privash left the band for personal reasons and subsequently Sergei Karshev (Neglected Fields) was invited to join as his replacement.The gigs that have followed confirmed the fans opinions that GOA is one of the hottest modern metal bands across the ex-USSR.

After a quiet period during 2003, the band decided to change the line up once again and hired singer Alex Redko (ex-Ultra, Distant Light) to replace Anatoly. The latest tracks are more impressive than those on "Natural Hostility". As the singer and bass player wanted to move in another style direction, in November of 2004, singer Roman (ex-Flamespirit) and bass player Deniss (ex-XXX) joined the band and the name of the band was changed to TRENDKILL METHOD. The new lineup continued perform successfully and recorded the new album "Methodistortion" with their recording/mixing engineer Sergey Laletin at the "Wolk recording studios". Mastering was done by Colin E.Davis (Vile).
