Biography

Fleshgrind is a Brutal death metal band from Chicago,USA.

In March of 1993, Rich Lipscomb (Guitarist/Vocalist) and Dave Barbolla (Drums) formed to help revive a stagnant death metal scene. Upon recruiting Steve Murray (Guitars) and Casey Ryba (Bass), Fleshgrind was born. In November 1993, they entered the studio to record their now infamous “Holy Pedophile” demo; “Holy Pedophile” earned Fleshgrind a spot amongst the underground, selling over 2500 copies. Their next demo “Sorrow Breeds Hatred… Bleed On Me” was recorded in April of 1995 and helped the band secure their first record deal with Pulverizer Records.

The group immediately headed to Quali-Tone Studios with Brian Griffin (Broken Hope, Internal Bleeding) to record “Destined For Defilement”, their first full-length album. During the recording process they also enlisted the skills of Ray Vasquez to handle bass duties. This album was released in August of 1997 featuring nine brand-new brutals. Pulverizer Records fell on financial problems, no longer able to press their disc. Fleshgrind decided to take it upon themselves to print their own copies.

Soon after the albums release Vasquez decided to leave the band and Dave Barbolla was asked to leave for personal reasons. The group wasted no time in acquiring new bassist James Genenz and new drummer Alan Collado and promptly proceeded to hit the road. After numerous shows with the likes of Broken Hope, Dying Fetus, Internal Bleeding, Malevolent Creation, Six Feet Under, Deicide, Cannibal Corpse and a five week long US tour with Mortician, the group developed a loyal underground fan base.
