Matt Tetriosphinx and Dale HacKnpA5te met at some point and they lived in a house where everything blew up, fell apart or was incinerated in the back garden. There were also some strange mushrooms growing from the ceiling. After a series of peculiar incidents involving a man with a skull thicker than Hulk Hogan, otherwise known as Matte Black, the three were moved by a strange talking dog that told them to form a band, so instead they bought electronic instruments and called themselves Teratoma.
