Karlsruhe, Germany (1992 – present)

Necrophagist was founded in early 1992 in Karlsruhe, Germany to integrate the fury of grinding, fast death metal with technical music. In April 2008, Necrophagist announced that Romain Goulon would be joining the band as their new drummer, replacing Minnemann, who would still be working with Suiçmez on a side project. The band is writing a new, yet untitled album, scheduled for release in summer of 2009, to accompany the band’s appearance in the 2009 Summer Slaughter tour. Suiçmez stated that the band would be using seven-string guitars on the album. [8] Muhammed himself will be recording with a new custom shop Ibanez Xiphos guitar consisting of 7 strings, as well as 27 frets.

Shortly after the band formed they entered the studio and recorded their first demo tape entitled ‘Requiems of Festered Gore.’ ‘Requiems of Festered Gore’ was never released to the masses as it was sent out solely for promotional reasons in an attempt to help the band secure gigs.

In 1995, Necrophagist re-entered the studio and recorded a self-titled, follow-up demo. The demo’s impact sent shock waves through the European underground death metal scene, which helped Necrophagist not only establish their gruesome name, but allowed the band to play numerous shows all over Europe. Soon Necrophagist was recognized as one of the leading bands in the growing underground progressive/technical death metal scene.

In 1999, NECROPHAGIST recorded their self-released, full-length debut ‘Onset of Putrefaction.’ Despite the limited number of copies that were made, ‘Onset of Putrefaction’ only solidified the growing reputation that NECROPHAGIST had started with their self-titled demo.

the only good song by this band is "foul body autopsy" everything else I find boring. I will admit when I first heard them I was blown away.

I can appreciate the talent that goes behind actually playing this stuff, enough-so for me to actually like it and listen to it. I just wish that they'd put more of an emotional push behind their playing/writing.

Imagine creating an album Necrophagist-styled. That's impossible for mortal beings, and I'm pretty sure even Necrophagist have their problems, not with recording an album, but with playing all the songs of their three albums live. Goddamn superbrains, they have to be.
