Hitmen is a mainly German demo and cracking group, born as a one man group
by Jihad/Action (crack) in may of 1990, which it stayed until the entire
German section of Vision joined around december the same year.
  1990 - Curlin (crack) joined from Vision, and Derse from Ruthless in
december. News in WOW's "Internal #3" that someone named 'RAF' joined with
Curlin are untrue.
  1991 - Early january saw the release of "ViNews #3" by Curlin and Mad
Butcher, which announced the joining of three ex-members of Internal
Affairs; Hires, Mad B. and Bass. Dr.Disk changed his handle to Hermit and
joined Chromance in january. Dense left for Manowar in january. Swedes Mason
and Stanze joined early in the year. Jihad was interviewed for Triad "Gamers
Guide #5" in the early months of the year, but then inexplicably left the
group not long after... According to the "Gamers Guide #9", the group died,
probably around may. Jihad formed another new group, called Joy Division.
The german members Curlin (code crack, ex Vision, new 12/90), Thunder (gfx),
Racoon and Alfatech left for Triad.

  ViNews #3 (1991, 02.01, Multifile Diskmag).
  INT - code: Curlin, gfx: n/a, music: n/a.
  MAG - code: Curlin, gfx: Curlin (main), Thunder (werner), DMC/Dominators
        (2x2 font), music: Laxity/Vibrants, editors: Mad Butcher (main),
        Curlin.
  review: First of all, this mag will get a positive response to their
  unorthodox design. Perhaps not all ideas are the best (what is that
  'Werner' doing there guys?), but at least they have the courage to think
  new. Apart from that, the mag's editorial content is about normal for this
  kind of thing. Atleast the English is on such a levels that the news items
  don't confuse, like can sometimes be the case with Sex'n'Crime =] One nice
  section, which I'd like to see expanded is the 'crax test' (inspired by
  Triad's "Gamers Guide"?). If they wrote a little more about WHY one
  version is superior to another, instead of just giving us those
  meaningless numbers, this would be an interesting section. There is no
  mention of the music being exclusive or anything, so it was most likely
  ripped. To sum up, this is actually above average for these kinds of mags,
  where the editorial content is not really supposed to transcend the
  'editorial, news + adresses' formula. [glenn]

Tristar late in the year. Dystan and Reconner left to form the group Trauma,
Tiebreak left, and Mendrake left for Raisers, all in december. Amok's
"Sex'n'Crime #21" [12/90] told that Exory had infact recracked Pulsar's
version of "Curse of Ra", and that this was not the only instance of
recracking on his part. They further printed a letter of apology they had
supposedly received from Exory. They also claimed that Exory is identical to
Dystan (who had at that time left the group for Trauma), and that this was
his way of blaming everything on the old handle and starting over. This
'war' also meant a lot of people left the group around this time.
