Bonesaw formed in 2005, when schoolmates Brad and Jimmy teamed up with friends (Lynchie) on bass and Trigger (Jase) on Drums. The band played their inaugural show at The Basement on 22 March 2006 and their third show at the first ever Brutal Fest, where they blew the crowd away with their powerful and intense sound, cementing themselves as a band to watch in the Brisbane death metal scene. 2006 also saw the band independently record and release their debut self-titled EP, which was met with great enthusiasm amongst the rapidly-growing Bonesaw fan base. Late '06 saw Lynchie part ways with the band and, after much searching, was replaced with Jase's brother, Si on bass guitar.
Soon after the new lineup was forged, Bonesaw took to the stage at the first ever Metal of Honor music festival, held at Club 299 in January 2007. The show was so successful that the band was asked to return to subsequent Metal of Honor festivals and continued to draw bigger and bigger crowds.
In 2008, Bonesaw toured on the North Queensland Invasion and earned themselves more loyal fans from all shows, their set at the Bombay Rock recieving Rave Reviews.
Bonesaw released a seven-song, professionally-mixed live DVD in 2007, and recorded another independent release entitled Graveyard Lovin’, which the band launched at The Step Inn in July 2008 to an almost packed out venue.
Early 2009 saw the departure of Brad after commitment issues, which saw Damian 'DEMON' Duffy join the already established band.
Now with DEMON fronting the band, Bonesaw are back with new songs and intense hunger to spread their Death/Groove Metal across the globe, and with their first International Support (Bhelliom) in September '09, this is a band that will rise beyond all expectations.
New Professional Recordings, Live tracks and a Live Video Clip are just the tip of the Iceberg.
Death has never sounded so damn Groovy!
