EMBRYONIC DEVOURMENT BIOGRAPHY

Grinding brutality, in its own unique form, shredding the minds of all alike from the close-minded, and feeble, to the strongest of free thinkers.. A definite mishap if you miss out on this cadre of high-sped brutal Killing!! Embryonic Devourment formed in 2003 from the ashes of Ye Old Skabbard with founding members Lauren Pike and Luke Boutiette. After 8 months of writing and playing they agreed to add former Ciribus members Johnny Helvete (vocals) and Austin Spence(bass). In November/December 2003 they went into Trident Studios and recorded the brutally acclaimed 5 song demo "Beheaded by Volition", recorded and engineered by Juan Urteaga of the band VILE, which quickly got them signed to Grotesque Music, out of Spain. The release immediately received media attention in worldwide publications such as Pit Magazine, Metal Maniacs, Terrorizer, Metal Pages, Bast Magazine, and many more. The band received airplay on Sirius Satellite Radio, college radio stations, fm stations, and was mentioned in many of their local newspapers. The release allowed the band to play many notable shows with great bands such as Cannibal Corpse, Obituary, Brutal Truth, Incantation, Sadus, Decrepit Birth, Deeds of Flesh, Severed Savior, Origin, Impaled, Vile, Odious Mortem, Sleep Terror, Cephalic Carnage, and many, many others. In addition, the band has been booked on many major metal fests, such as the California Death Fest, Northwest Death Fest, Gathering of the Sick, L.A. Murder Fest, and many others. All this, just from a 5 song EP!! Imagine what will happen upon the release of their debut 11 track full length!! In February '05, Embryonic Devourment parted ways with Johnny Helvete, as he went on to start a career and a family, and had Austin Spence take over on vocals along with his bass duties instead. The new lineup was orgasmic, and the band has continued to shred and brutalize, with new material constantly being created, reaching into the sickest, most insane level of Brutal musicianship on a overtly technical level, Blaringly high-sped drumming, and Vo-kills to shred the senses, Embryonic Devourment have been gaining a steady following worldwide. Currently, Embryonic Devourment have just finished recording their debut full length album entitled “Fear of Reality Exceeds Fantasy”, recorded and engineered by Matt Sotelo of Decrepit Birth, and mastered by Colin Davis of VILE. The new full length will be out in Febuary 2008 on Deepsend records.
