PUTREFY BIOGRAPHY
Putrefy was vomited upon the underground death metal scene in late 1992 after close friends Jason,Chuck,Jeff and Mark decided to play more brutal music in the death metal vein. After much rehearsing and writing,the infamous "Presumed Dead" demo was released in 1993 and received well worldwide. Putrefy then gigged as much as possible and continued writing for the next release which would result in being a split mcd with Italian band "ALTERED VISION" on now defunct "ISOLATED RECORDS”. Unfortunately, this release would be the last with this line up as Putrefy split not long after the release due to musical differences. Between 1998 - 2000, Jason worked on getting the band back again, and finally got a strong rhythm section finalized. With beaver on bass and Connor on guitar in Jan 2001,a new sicker more faster version of the band was born! Slamming material was going be the thing for Putrefy now, old school death metal mixed with a modern twist, in 2002 the "LUST SO VILE" mcd was released, the 1st putrefy release in 7 years!!! The mcd was toured and promoted vigorously, webzines, mags, radio stations etc etc, and eventually the mcd was released and distributed by GRIND ETHIC RECORDS in the UK, co-owners being Rushy (GOREROTTED/DETRIMENTUM) and Tom (BEEF CONSPIRACY). Writing for the long awaited full length album continued, and during this time Putrefy would play such gigs as OBSCENE EXTREME FEST 2003 in Czech republic with MACABRE, DEAD INFECTION, INHUME, ISCAARIUM etc, DAY OF DARKNESS FEST 2004 in Ireland with DISMEMBER and ANCIENT RITES and a host of other irish acts, CENTRAL ILLINOIS METALFEST in the U.S.A. with INCANTATION, BRODEQUIN, LIVIDITY, GORGASM and many many more, SUFFOCATION,ENTOMBED,LONDON DEATHFEST IN 2005 with GOREROTTED, CANCER and AVULSED amongst others. Putrefy headlined the first stage of bands, many other gigs happened, too many to mention!!! The above mentioned is only a brief description of what the band has achieved since the reformation. In 2006 the putrefy full length cd was unleashed finally via REDRUM RECORDS in the U.S.A. and run by legend WILL RAHMER of MORTICIAN infamy, which for the band was legendary as all members are massive MORTICIAN fans and it happened to be that Will was becoming a putrefy fan!! Artwork for the cd was constructed by known tattooist/underground artist JON ZIG. New merchandise also became available for the album launch. During 2006 yet more line up troubles became a issue ,so Connor took the challenge and started doing guitar/vocals and the difference is awesome, vocally and on stage. No offense to previous vocalists but now is the way it was meant to be, with this line up, Putrefy recorded a 4 track promo which now will be released in mid 2007 as a 3 way split with HUMAN FILLETED and VOMITOUS RECTUM on GRIND ETHIC RECORDS. During all this a 2nd guitarist, Geoff was recruited to beef up the already heavy putrefy sound, and will be let loose in mid 2007 in the live front, creating the music for the 2nd album is still ongoing and will be available in late 2007/early 2008 through a yet to be announced label. On the live front, Putrefy will be playing all over the u.k/europe, a return trip to America and any place that will book Putrefy to devastate whatever possible venue!!!
