Biography
Stockholm, Sweden (1988 – 1990, 1999 – present)
General Surgery is a goregrind band formed in 1988 in Stockholm, Sweden. The band is a side project of various members of swedish death metal acts. The original line-up comprised of Richard Cabeza on vocals, Carbonised guitarist Jonas De Rouche, Grant McWilliams on bass and then Carbonised vocalist Matti Kärkki on drums. The project’s first demo was titled ‘Erosive Offals’.
McWilliams departed prior to the second demo ‘Pestiferous Anthropophagia’ in 1990. General Sugery’s line-up then virtually disintegrated, leaving only Kärki remaining. Cabeza soon returned to the fore with Dismember. New recruits were Afflicted guitarist Joacim Carlsson and drummer Matts Nordrup. Grant McWilliams also rejoined. General Sugery were then offered a deal by American label Grind ‘Til Global Perfection. Tracks were recorded which would eventually become the ‘Internecine Prurience’ demo. Also recorded would be a three track demo attributed to Meat Missile. Following recording of further General Surgery songs with producer Tomas Skogsberg, Kärkki quit to concentrate full time as vocalist for Dismember.
The tracks recorded for the American EP were to surface as the ‘Necrology’ EP on relapse records in 1991. The initial 1000 copies came in blood red vinyl and, as the pressings soon sold out, Relapse reissued the EP on CD, with two extra tracks, in 1994.
