Brief history

"...HMD was founded between 1988-1989 by SkyRace and GlUEV, during a phone discussion they spoke about HEMOROIDS as a groupname. For the record, skyRace (14 years old at dis time) thought that hemoroids name a star, and thought it sounded nice has his ear, it was far from the true origin of the world ;)). Quickly the group produce lot's of several small productions. In 1990 HMD makes its real first big production participating at the demo-competion organized by 'GENERATION 4' ,a french game-video magazine. But the production which made HMD known was the Hemosound and later hemosound 2 (An ATARI demo with Amiga mods, those who changed the famous soundchip).

It was a fashion in the early 90 to make alliances with other groups. The group primarily come in 2 alliances: The Stranglers (HMD+FUZION+IMPACT) and The Guild (HMD+IMPACT). Despite the good will of some, this has not prevented a lot of that group have started to do this by intro and compil interposed, for reasons that even time has forgotten (as often). Few survived long alliance on evidence that there was a sort of competition between groups.

The group also participated in many megademos (demo with several screens of different groups) like exemple Phaleon Gigademo by NEXT (originally it was a project of The Replicants) or The European demo of THE OVERLANDERS. Between 1990-1991, new members have arrived, including SINK wich taken over SkyRace (as leader) that they left the group (for the focus on another computer scene, Cracking and Hacking ). Gluev (one of the original founder) was kicked.
