Exhumed
Formed in 1991 by the duo of Matt Harvey
and Col Jones, Exhumed became of those cult
underground death metal bands, never destined
for superstardom but content to do their thing, which
mostly consisted of out-goring their competition.
They debuted in 1993 with an EP, and
in the years to follow released a slew of demos and
splits (much of which is captured in the
Platters Of Splatter compilation), with varying lineups,
until they finally signed to
Relapse Records, where they released three
full-length albums.
As if the song titles weren't enough of a clue as to what
their style was, Exhumed played grind-inspired death
metal, drifting towards more traditional death metal on their
later material.
