Press:
"...Stilistische Experimente und musikalische Neuerungen sucht man auf "Beyond The Flesh" vergebens. Stattdessen wird das bisher erreichte auf hohem Niveau in Stein gemeißelt und allenfalls in Nuancen verfeinert. Gut so! Denn mit dieser Form von Beharrlichkeit haben es EMBEDDED geschafft sich qualitativ in die erste Liga des Brutal Death Metal zu spielen..." (Andreas Stappert/Rock Hard, Germany - 8 Punkte)
"...Tighte Scheiße, Alter: gegurgeltes Grunzen, doppeltes Drumming, blastende Beats, sägende Saiteninstrumente - EMBEDDED kommen dermaßen geil auf den Punkt, zeigen, dass sie’s sowohl technisch als auch groovig, aber eben immer hart können, die kleinen Ferkel. Ein gelungener Beweis für die Qualitäten von Danowsky und Co.: Das Malevolent Creation-Cover ,Living In Fear’. Bleibt zu hoffen, dass viele Deather der Eröffnung des Openers ,Terminal Stage’ Folge leisten, denn das ist definitiv keine Bitte, sondern ein direkter Befehl: Contaaaaaact!" (SM/Legacy, Germany - 13 Punkte, Platz 11 im Soundcheck)
"...'Terminal Stage' ist die Hölle von einem Plattenopener. Schnell, tight, brutal, unbarmherzig und kompromißlos brettert er mit flinken Gitarren und harschen Gutturalattacken über einen hinweg. Mehr davon bitte! Und genau das liefert das dritte vollwertige Lebenszeichen der Osnabrücker Knüppelheimer von EMBEDDED. Hier werden die besten Todesbleizutaten des europäischen Festlandes, Skandinaviens und Amerikas selbstbewußt zu einem gewaltigen Haßbatzen verschnürt..." (David Gregori/HEAVY, Germany - 9 Punkte)
"...US Deathmetal der alten Schule. Cryptopsy, Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse oder Malevolent Creation Fans dürfen sich auf amtliches Geholze, daraus resultierendes grinsen auf allen Backen und ordentlich Haare-Schüttel-Material freuen..." (Oliver Kirchner/EMP, Germany)
"...Von Anfang an machen EMBEDDED keine Gefangenen und bieten kompromissloses, kraftvolles Geholze nach feinster Florida-Art. Herrlich tiefes Gegrunze, flinke, fies sägende Gitarren, präzises Schlagzeugspiel mit vielen Blastbeats und Doublebass. Genau so muss amtlicher Death Metal klingen!..." (Markus Endres/Metal.de, Germany - 8 Punkte)
"...EMBEDDED brauchen sich vor den Szenegrößen nicht verstecken, die Songs können ordentlich was..." (Björn Gieseler/Bloodchamber.de, Germany - 8 Punkte)
Legacy Of Brutality:
Formed in 1994 and being heavily influenced by bands like Morgoth, Death and Unleashed Embedded from Osnabrück/Germany started as a three-piece, showing their dedication to old-school Death Metal through the release of the “Angels of damnation” demo in 1996. After a two years break and some line-up changes, the band stroke back with the well acclaimed MCD “Fragments of horror” at the very beginning of the new millennium. Followed by a split EP with Disastrous Murmur, some club shows all around Germany and an outstanding live performance at the Fuck The Commerce IV-Festival EMBEDDED were able to strengthen their reputation as a passionate Death Metal outfit.
The release of their first full-length “Banished from the light” on Revenge Productions in 2001 pushed the band to a higher level. Highly acclaimed by the European press this album shows a more mature and brutal face of the band featuring ten outbursts of blasting Floridian-kinda Death Metal. The album sold very well and EMBEDDED played the Obscene Extreme-Festival, a couple of club shows and toured Finland as well. But in late 2002 the band was again shattered by some massive line-up changes. After a short period of forced inactivity EMBEDDED returned in 2003. Stronger than ever, the band showcases their new found motivation in doing a video clip of the “Banished…”-Classic “Stench of burning flesh” (featured later on “A severity divine”).
After a year of hard work EMBEDDED recorded their second album with Jörg Uken in his Soundlodge Studios in late 2004. With the definitely heaviest material of their career “ A severity divine” is a riff-driven and ultra-brutal output easily turning every moshpit into chaos. Released in May 2005 and described by the European press as an impressive and ultra-brutal mix of Malevolent Creation, Immolation and Slayer this album got an overwhelming feedback and was able to consolidate EMBEDDED..s status as one of the best german Death Metal outfits.
In 2006 drummer Jörg Heemann was replaced by Markus Renzenbrink. A couple of shows later on including a amazing co-headlining performance at the Fuck The Commerce IX-Festival in 2006 and a successfull mini-tour in the Netherlands and a intense period of working on new songs EMBEDDED again entered the Soundlodge Studios to record their third full-length album. This brand new piece of brutal Death Metal is called "Beyond the flesh" and will be released in early 2009 by DB Agency!
