TAINE has been founded in 1993 as a consequence to Andy's wish to have a "100% metal" band, as he was influenced at that time by well known bands as Megadeth, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Mekong Delta, Carcass, Coroner, Cynic, Atheist, Death and many others. The idea of founding "Taine" band had been actually materialized with the enormous indirect influence of Megadeth. Being a fan of this band, especially of Dave Mustaine, Andy had at the time all the walls covered in posters with Megadeth' members.
