General Surgery / Butcher ABC split 2009
Stockholm,
Sweden
The band was an outlet for the members at that time to musically profess their love for Carcass and grindcore in general.
After losing and gaining several members, a relatively stable line-up was found for recording their first demo (and the following one), "Erosive Offals" in March of 1990.
Later, the same demo was re-recorded at the "legendary" Sunlight studio, this time with new lyrics and titles, called "Pestiferous Anthropophagia". After this Rickard left the band and Grant was once again in the band.
A rehearsal demo was recorded shortly after this, and in November of 1990 their EP, "Necrology" was recorded, also at Sunlight studio. With the 11 minutes of music on the EP the band gained quite a following. Despite this, the band called it quits shortly afterwards. The EP was re-released on CD in 1993 by Relapse.
Resurrected for a short period in 2000, the remaining band members found it hard to gain a stable line-up, but did record a track for the Carcass tribute album "Requiems of Revulsion".
After a couple of more years of inactivity (which by this time seemed to be a trademark of the band) Joacim teamed up with Sayyadina bassist Andreas Eriksson to record some demo tracks on the computer.
The results were promising, so they invited Grant back to sing. Adde Mitroulis of Birdflesh and Jigsore Terror fame was asked if he could play and he readily agreed. Then recorded the split CD with the County Medical Examiners. After this, Andreas left the band and Glenn Sykes of Regurgitate was brought in on bass and Johan Wallin of Scurvy and Repugnant was brought in for guitar and vocal duties.
During 2005 the band made their first live appearance in the US at the well-renowned Maryland Deathfest. A 4-track pre-production demo was also recorded earlier in the spring, in order to test the studio for future recordings.
In December the band entered Offbeat Studio to record what was to become their first full-length album "Left Hand Pathology". The recording was later mastered at Peter in de Betou's Tailor Maid facilities and the artwork was handled by the band themselves in order to make sure the packaging was as visually disturbing as the musical content.
In early 2006 vocalist Grant McWilliams made a decision to part ways with the band. His leave was on amicable terms and the band is currently seeking a replacement vocalist.
"Left Hand Pathology" was released to rave reviews in late May 2006. The band is now preparing a final tour with the LHP line-up, which will take place during 4 days in Japan later this September. Several other shows are in the works including the infamous Uppsala Blodbad in August & a possible Stockholm appearance.

Quote:
| The story goes back all the way to 2003 (!) when we got asked by then Escorbuto Recordings president Johan Wallin if we would be interested in doing a split with japanese gore maniacs Butcher ABC.. Naturally we were, and we planned to do it pretty much right after the split 7"s we did with Machetazo and Filth. After that, things got changed up and we found ourselves working on our first album instead, and it wasn't until May 2007 we got around to finally record the songs for this split. By this time it was decided that the release would be handled by Obliteration Records and Living Dead Society/Coperaction Records. Butcher ABC followed suit and recorded their material later in 2007, and finally here's the result, the most anticipated split release ever. Feast your ears on this putrid mess.. |
