Please tell us about the history of your band and its members.
We formed in 1993. We started as a metal cover band, mostly Sepultura, Slayer and Metallica. We decided to write our own songs shortly after we began. We wanted to play death metal as we were really into Suffocation and Cannibal Corpse.
How would you describe your style? Which bands influenced your music?
Brutal. Melodic. Slammy. Thrash. METAL!! We listen to a lot of metal but our main influences I would say are Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse, Death, Sepultura and Testament.
Why should a metalhead buy your demos/albums?
If they like melodic, slammy and brutal death metal all wrapped into one, then that’s what they’ll get by listening to us.
What have you released so far and how were your releases received by the public/media?
Since 1994, we have released a bunch of music. Three albums in the 90s (Pure Hatred 1994, My Inner Impurity 1995 and Decerebration 1998). Since we have released two more albums in 2013 and 2015. Respawned (2013) is a compilation of our earlier stuff that we re-recorded, and Decerebration (2015) is a re-recording of the entire 1998 album. Usually, our music is well received. Hopefully, that will be the case “Follow the Scars” that we are releasing on December 17. An album with brand new music.
Do you play live as well? How's your live activity so far?
Yes, we love playing shows, but we haven’t played one in more than two years because of COVID. However, we are starting shows next month and we can’t wait!!
What should labels/zines/promoters know about your band? Why should they be interested in it?
We are a death metal band that plays melodic, slammy, and brutal music. So, if you’re into riffy death metal then I guess you would like us. Our main strength is our live performances, so we can’t wait to start playing shows again !!
What plans do you have for the near future as a band?
We are releasing a new album called “Follow the Scars” on December 17. It is our first release of new music in more than 20 years. We also plan on playing as many shows as possible and writing more music.
