Decrepitaph started in early 2005 as a solo project of Elektrokutioner. At the time, he was playing drums for a thrash band called Skulleton, but he also wanted to play in a true Death Metal band influenced by legends like Asphyx, Grave, Incantation, Autopsy, and countless others. Unable to find any other musicians in his area of Massachusetts, Elektrokutioner decided to make the project a one man band. The song writing process was slow and not much was done at first. A lot of rehearsal riffs/songs were completed over the next year in preparation for a demo. Finally, in May 2006, a five track demo CD entitled 'Grotesque Dwellings' was released in a limited run of 100 copies. All the material was written, performed, and recorded by Elektrokutioner in his practice spot.
At the end of 2006, Elektrokutioner moved from Massachusetts to Texas and decided to look for musicians. In the beginning, it wasn't clear if this would be for Decrepitaph or another project, but after meeting Sinworm in June of 2007, it was decided to make Decrepitaph a full band. The duo quickly wrote 10 songs in less than 5 months with both Sinworm and Elektrokutioner coming up with riffs between practices. The weekend before Halloween, Decrepitaph recorded the 8 song 'Ancient Death Metal Promo 2007' at Elektrokutioner's home studio. This was meant to show everyone we the band was still around and what the new line up sounded like.
At the end of 2007, a good friend of Sinworm named Daterape joined as the bassist, adding a lot to the low end sound of the band. Now we have Sinworm on guitar and lead vocals, Daterape on bass and backing vocals, and Elektrokutioner pounding the skins of hell. All of the band members get together with guitars and write material, so the huge realm of influences will always be apparent in the music of Decrepitaph.
Elektrokutioner sent some MP3s of the Ancient Death Metal promo to Billy from Razorback Records and he offered to help with the release of our CD in 2008. The band is extremely excited to be involved with such a great label that continues to put out excellent albums. The band continues to write lots of songs for the full length on Razorback. The CD will probably contain 10 tracks, with most of them being new. A few of the songs from the promo will no doubt be rerecorded for the album as well.
Decrepitaph would like to thank all the fans, bands, zines, and labels that have helped us out in getting where we are today. Hopefully we will release an album that will bring back the memories of the classic bands that helped create the Death Metal genre!

When ordering a shirt with PayPal please MAKE SURE TO LEAVE A NOTE SAYING WHICH SIZE YOU WANT!!!
THIS COMES FREE WITH ANY ORDER!!!
This is the first official release since the 'Grotesque Dwellings' demo! This is an ONLINE ONLY release that is intended to help promote our full length album coming out in 2008. There are no physical copies of it, just MP3s. The 'Ancient Death Metal Promo' contains 8 songs in about 31 minutes, and it was recorded October 27th and 28th, 2007 at our practice spot. The sound is better than the first DECREPITAPH demo, but it's still raw and morbid sounding! We have decided to just use this as online promotion only. If you order a shirt or a Grotesque Dwellings CD, we will include a CDR of Ancient Death Metal for free!
The debut demo CD from DECREPITAPH entitled 'Grotesque Dwellings' is now out! It contains 5 songs in 20 minutes of pure OLD SCHOOL DEATH METAL influenced by the great bands of the early 90's. Everything was written and recorded by Elektrokutioner at my rehearsal studio, so expect a raw and putrid recording!!! This is limited to 100 hand numbered copies and it will not be repressed. Very few copies left!
Grotesque Dwellings CD - $8 in USA
Grotesque Dwellings CD - $10 Overseas
Any label that might be willing to fund DECREPITAPH doing a split 7" or possibly a split CD in 2009, please get in touch with us! We're interested in finding some cool bands as well, especially those that might know labels wanting to help out!
