Bastard Artists from Hell (bafh)
Founded August 2000 by DocJones (Denmark), Ic666 (Ireland), Comrade (Canada), and Xeroxxx, BAFH built itself around a service offer to the cracker scene: 75-100 NFO commissions per month, custom templates delivered in 1-3 days.
By 2001 they had 28+ international members and the BAFHViewer to bundle releases. The 2002 pack 4 NFO welcomed Creepah, Bornholme, and Brane while saying goodbye to Octodur. The model was simple: produce volume, work fast, serve the cracker groups who needed clean release-NFO art.
BAFH ran productively through 2002 and into 2003, then went quiet. But for two years they were the high-volume NFO factory the early-2000s cracker scene needed, with a roster international enough that 24-hour turnaround was actually possible.
