Back in 1992, 4 guys from Luckenwalde/Germany came together to form a band. Their names were Ronny (bass), Frank (vocals) and since the drummer and guitarist were totally broke, they had to share the same name: Andreas. Obviously, this couldn't be handled for a long time, so one Andreas had to leave and soon they found a new guitarist called Jan. Also joining was chief-in-organizing, guitarist Detlef. In October of the same year, they recorded the music of their nightmares for the first time. With "Apathic Faces", they got their first gigs booked. In 1994 Galdre Rec. offered them a deal to record their debut cd "Funeral Sermon". During the recordings, they decided to bring in a second Vocalist: Henri. In August of 95 Frank (vocals) left the band. A year later, in June 1996 they built up their own studio to record a promotape. More gigs were played, along with bands like SINISTER, BLOOD, MANOS,ILLDISPOSED etc.

In September of 1997 the second Andreas decided to leave the Maledictive Pigs and was soon replaced by Ronnys brother Daniel, who has been the permanent drummer since this time.

In 1998, they recorded their second Album "Reborn", which wasn't released until 2000 via Trauma Rec. The same year, Detlef left the Band. In Autumn of 2001, the band signed to Cudgel Agency to release a split single with SKINLESS, that was quickly sold out.They also went into the studio to record their 3rd album entitled "Bloodshed", which was presented on numerous gigs including a tour with Obscenity and Hypnos, and on festivals like the FTC IV and Obscene

EXTREME III. This time, Jan (guitar) decided to give up, and was replaced by another Andreas, since there is quite a bunch of these ones in Luckenwalde, all born in times of unimaginative mothers. Detlef also came back, so they were a 5 piece again! In 2002/2003, they played Gigs with bands including SOUL DEMISE and our favourite hooligans ILLDISPOSED. Also, Jan came back home! Their music developed to a more brutal but also groove-orientated stuff along with guttural vocals and lyrics dealing with political topics.

In October 2004, they recorded in the Rape Of Harmonies Studio 10 new songs for the album "Soul Surgery" which was mastered bei Mr. Pluto himself in the Megawimp Studios (SEVERE TORTURE, HAEMORRHAGE, LIVIDITY, DAMNABLE). As a little bonus, the 4th album also contains a ULCEROUS PHLEGM cover song and a multimedia part about the recordings of Soul Surgery.
