EXHUMED "GORE METAL AVAILABLE ON VINYL FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!

Licensed from Relapse Records and available as a proper vinyl release for the first time, Exhumed's debut "gore metal" album is limited to 300 copies and includes a full color jacket, full color inner sleeve and labels. Look for their second album "slaughtercult" in February 2006, followed by their "platters of splatter" 2LP collection in April 2006 on Circle of Tyrants Records.

Formed in 1991, when sole remaining founding member Matt Harvey was at the tender age of 15, Exhumed spent much of the ensuing decade hacking its way through numerous line-ups, demos, split CDs, and EPs. The band finally recorded their debut album, the genre- (re) defining and critic-repulsing "Gore Metal" in 1998. The album crystallized the "old-school Death Metal meets full-on Grindcore with the spirit of Thrash" sound forged during the recordings of their last demo and first split CD ("Horrific Expulsion of Gore" and "In the Name of Gore" respectively).
