Desastyr started out as a natural conclusion of the Avant-garde Hardcore compilation Obscurities. Appearing as a solo artist on Obscurities Vol. 3 under the name "K-Dawg", that capped the year of 2002. Then in 2003, Kevin put out the debut CD-r entitled Anarchy EP under the name K-Dawg Des-astyr. After several releases, the direction became more and more Raw Hardcore and Post-Grind. In 2008, Kevin released A D-Beat Heirloom, a secret album praise towards American D-Beat that leaked out on the net through colleague Mike Meanstreetz, A D-Beat Heirloom finally made a name for K-Dawg with a mass download craze. With a 5 year break from music due to Recovering Addiction, Kevin finally calmed down and starting writing again after his Discharge in 2014. His ideas and thoughts focused to Re-invent himself, Revise and Revive, and Re-unite with bands Vietnam (pre-LA Dice) and Pinata Lazer.
