MySpace a place for friends

The crushed heads and dismembered remains of PUTRESCENCE (ex-Head Hits Concrete, Seven Plagues) have been assaulting and mutilating frenzied and degenerate audiences across Canada and the United States since the spring of 2003. Since its initial exhumation from a desolate field near a cement manufacturing plant in Winnipegs north end, the band has sworn vengeance upon the living by launching into a brutal campaign of power drilling stale and grotesque music deep inside craniums and soft, juicy eyeball sockets.

Releases have been pouring like warm plasma out of an axed up human skull. "Occult Blood and Excrement", the 5 song demo was released in the fall of 2003. A year later in the fall of 2004, the completely sickening "Mangled, Hollowed Out and Vomit-Filled" was regurgitated by No Escape Records. Upon its release, a September 2005 tour of Eastern Canada saw the band playing alongside brutal deathheads' Deamon. Upon the successful completion of this tour, in late 2005, the band recorded tracks for a split EP with Embalming Theatre, available now through Goryfied Productions.

In 2006, the band released thirteen moldy tracks for a second full length CD on No Escape Records with the 12" vinyl version (limited shit/piss coloured wax) released on One Percent Records. Dawn of the Necrofecalizer is the definitive soundtrack to using gloved fists to evaporate the very faces of poseurs while blacked out drunk. Diehards will feel compelled to completely smash the Christ into a blackened mixture of tar, bone fragments and facial hair upon blasting this album at 3 a.m. with no remorse.

In 2007 as a five piece monstrosity, having added Dennis Mott (Dissolution) on 2nd guitar, the band played the Maryland Deathfest, and released a new album for Power It Up Records. This reeking platter is titled "Fatal White Pustules Upon Septic Organs". The band supported this release with appearances at Bloodshed Fest in Holland and Moshfest in Poland as part of the mid-October European Blowtorch Decapitation tour. Over a two and a half week period. Putrescence played numerous countries alondside such bands as Regurgitate, Dead Infection, Extreme Noise Terror, Squash Bowels, Afgrund, Malignant Tumor, Sublime Cadaveric Decomposition, Neuropathia, Gadget and many, many more.

In 2008, the band finished recording new material, appeared on a split 7" with I Die Screaming on Eschaton Industries. The band also took part on a split 7" with Archagathus on Kill Bomb/Rescued from Life Records, out hopefully in 2009. As well, Putrescence released a fourth fourth full length album, "Sledgehammer Holocaust" on October 31st on No Escape Records. A two week tour of Western Canada took place in early November with Impaled (Willowtip Rec's) and Fuck the Facts (Relapse Rec's).

2009 has seen the band playing witth new friends in Cattle Decapitation, Absu and completing a successful jaunt out to Alberta and back. 2009 has also brought the departure of Dennis Mott and the addition of Jay Edwards on guitar. Presently the band is holed up in the basement writing, waiting, and trying to piece together the most extreme tunes the band has put together in six years of existence. Stay tuned for festival appearance notifications and European tour dates in 2010.

One other thing...sorry if we are unable to respond to all friend requests. We appreciate the support and wish to thank you in advance.

HILLBILLY SAVANTS: QUIET DIGNITY & DELICATE RELATIONSHIPS
a guide to the putrescence discography

"Fatal White Pustules Upon Septic Organs" (Power It Up Records, 2007) This l'il ditty has ten new ones and a bunch of stuff compiled to help support a trip to Europe. What a near-disaster this is turning out to be. It almost didn't get pressed because Power It Up almost bailed on us due to a manufacturing deadline. Tee?! Ho ho! Our favourite review involved some guy saying that "this record is a total heap of shit and not even some crappy live tracks could save this." Craig Boychuk went to live in the woods alone for a year after mastering this thing.

"Mangled, Hollowed Out and Vomit-Filled" (No Escape Records, 2004) This is the first full length. We had almost broken up three times by the time this coaster saw the light of day. By this time, we had tired to stop sounding like "The Bleeding" era Cannibal Corpse being covered as a hilarious joke by Sockeye. We took a lot of shit for this cover. We tried to challenge Bitch Infection to a dance-off to determine who should have the cover via Roy/Necroharmonic, but we have yet to hear from them. Name the time and place you fellow rotten dot com thieving bastards...

"Dawn of the Necrofecalizer" (No Escape Records/One Percent Records, 2006) Dawn was tracked on George Romero's birthday in the basement of the Zoo with Jared. Shortly after the instruments wer tracked, a toilet was flushed during the tracking of the vocals, completely flooding Jared's house and getting Grimmgore's socks all wet. It was terrible. This was a decidedly cleaner sounding record which has resulted in many inter-band screaming matched over the years. We got sick of most of this shit after nearly passing out from fear up on a ten foot stage in Trois Riviers.

"Sledgehammer Holocaust" (No Escape Records, 2008) After watching 2 Minute Dreka at 3 a.m. on a Tuesday night in Italy in the presence of Afgrund who were drinking Coke mixed with boxed wine like it was going out of style, we realized that we had found the key to success in life and decided to write this record. Jared tracked it you see, and we think the song writing improved as a result of our lucky chances in life. Life is a strange thing...in our case, it's fucking nuts and completely fucked beyond belief.

Split 7" with Embalming Theatre (Goryfied Records, 2005) A Misfits tune was recorded because some idiot in the band had a crush on a girl. We played it live twice locally to fans of the Misfits who stared blankly at us and clapped out of confusion and obligation more than appreciation. We were bummed out and have since disowned the god-damned thing. A crazed woodsman tried to murder us while we tracked this in a cabin in the woods. It's always colder in Canada than it is in Norway, so it can be said that we are the most frost-bitten metal band to ever record in the woods. PS: The Misfits song doesn't even appear on this. Oh dear.....

Split 7" with Archagathus (Rescued from Life/Kill Bomb Records, 200?) We got really, really, really drunk one afternoon and then recorded nine songs for this split in our jam spot. We ended up with just under 5 minutes of material. Shaun ended up too loaded to finish his bass parts. Some friends who wanted to party showed up in the evening and immediately felt bad for us once they saw how life had worked us over once again. The only thing left to do was to watch Death Wish 3 and vomit into the kitchen sink several times over.

Split 7" with I Die Screaming (Eschaton Industries, 2008) You see, what happened here was that we wrote the slowest song that we could come up with. We hoped it would be the musical equivalent of an overflowing kitty litter box. We wrote it to be exactly four minutes and twenty seconds long as a tribute to all the fuckin' sick weed tokers out there dude... and not the ones with terminal illness either, brah! I don't remember tracking this. I might have skipped a family dinner sometime around Christmas to track this. Oh well, fuck 'em all, right?
