Coming to existence in December of 2001 when Ivan Galdamez (guitar) joined forces with Ed Baugh (drums/vocals) to create a raw traditional death metal band called Redrum.
April 2002 they released a demo entitled “Redrum 2002” and sought out to recruit members.
May 2003 brought Andrew Rafacz (guitar) into the picture and same year Redrum would become WHORRID .
Shortly after the release of their second demo “Bitch Butchers” in 2004 , Ed would part ways with the band leaving Ivan to take on the vocal duties and a long process would start of finding the right pieces to the perfect line up.
Going through many members ( Narcyz Fortuna – drums 2004/2006 ,
Martin Labuz – bass 2004/2005 ) and session players, the puzzle was finally being complete with the addition of Jarek Badzioch on bass in fall of 2005 and drummer Brian Wimmer in 2007.
January 29,2006 marked the release of their full length debut “Infecting the Soul”, one year later signing a deal with Rotting Corpse Records for the release of their second full length “Time Heals Nothing” (2009).
Having played shows with such acts as Deicide, Possessed, Macabre , Obituary, Unleashed, as well as many other great bands nationally, WHORRID continues striving forwards and doing what they believe in.
“Never Give In, Never Give Up, Never Forget, Never”
