Degameth was a popular Meteor Metal band that existed from 3961 BBY to 3951 BBY. It's members were Dayv Mustayn, who sang and played rhythm ratiug; Mawrtie Freadmin, who played lead ratuig]]; Daived Ellifsun, who played bass; and Nik Menxxa, who played drums.

Founding
DegaMeth was founded in 3961 BBY on the scummy streets of Nar Shadda after the lead guitarist for Acillatem, Dayv Mustayn, was kicked out for his uncontrollable drinking and spice abuse. He founded DegaMeth out of determination, and after a planetwide tour, they released their first album in 3960 BBY, which was entitled Promised Lies. It featured raging lyrics about the horrors of the mandalorian crusades, and sold well in underground circles on the Core worlds and inner rim territories.

Core Tour and Corrode in Peace (3960-3958 BBY)
In the same year, DegaMeth embarked on a year-long tour of the core worlds, playing increasingly larger venues on almost every planet in the Core, including Coruscant, Chandrila, and Corellia. In 3059 BBY, they were back in the studio again, recording the follow up to Promised Lies.

In early 3058 BBY, they released Corrode in Peace, which was widely considered their best work. It contained the single Holy Wars, which perfectly described the common being's view of the Jedi Civil War, as well as Hangar 13, which was a stab against the mistreatment of non-human species. As soon as Corrode in Piece hit shelves, DegaMeth was catapulted into the intergalactic spotlight. Critics and fans alike raved over the ingenious songwriting of Mustayn and Freadmin's incredible lead ratiug playing, particularly on the song Cyclone of Spirits.

Destroy the Galaxy tour (3958-3956 BBY)
In mid 3958 BBY, DegaMeth embarked on the Destroy the Galaxy tour, a two year journey through most of the planets in the galaxy. A few negotians by their record label enabled them to play in both republic and sith worlds, a rare thing indeed. They played on nearly every planet with a large city, and at the tail end of the tour, they played a live show on Taris to a completely sold-out crowd, a week before it was bombarded by the sith. The bombardment heavily influenced the lyrics on the band's next album, Cryptic Inscriptions.

Band tensions

 * Although the Destroy the Galaxy tour was generally considered to be DegaMeth's highest point, several factors were beginning to pull the band apart. Mustayn was still heavily addicted to spices, and was even proclaimed dead for a few minutes in 3957 BBY after an overdose on their tour ship. Thankfully, several emergency doctors were present and were able to revive the intergalactic star. Mustayn was also arrested on Coruscant for piloting a speeder while intoxicated. The rest of the group forced him to enter rehab at the end of the tour in mid 3956 BBY.

Cryptic Inscriptions (3956-3951 BBY)
Following the Destroy the Galaxy tour, Degameth took a long break from the business. Mustayn entered rehab, and re-emerged completely sober. Following a year of writing, recording, and producing, the band released Cryptic Inscriptions. Though it didn't sell as well as Corrode in Peace, it was still very well received
