ASHES OF M.

Birthed in the mists of the early 1990’s as Plague Bearer in the isolated and miniscule
Death Metal underground emerging in Seattle, Drawn And Quartered would explode
upon the unsuspecting scene with their debut demo and furious live performances in
1996. The iconic debut release “To Kill Is Human” emerged in 1998, self-released prior
to its later reissue by Moribund Records. Two US tours followed, but it would not be until
2002 that a follow-up release would finally arrive with “Extermination Revelry”, which
began to showcase a more sinister approach than before.
Three subsequent releases via the Moribund Cult followed in relatively quick
succession, including the landmark “Hail Infernal Darkness” in 2006. After the 2010
release of their sixth album “Feeding Hell’s Furnace” on Nuclear Winter Records, and
live performances in New York and Texas, Drawn and Quartered was forced to regroup
following a line-up change. It would be 2012 when they reappeared with the
“Proliferation of Disease” demo. Two albums would follow via Krucyator Productions,
including the previous full-length “Congregation Pestilence” in 2022, which was followed
by a successful US tour and Drawn And Quartered’s second European appearance.
Their ninth full-length studio recording, “Lord of Two Horns”, was released in June 2025
by Nuclear Winter Records. “Lord of Two Horns” sees Drawn And Quartered deliver
their signature early-90s-influenced Death Metal darkness with more speed and brutality
than ever before.
Drawn And Quartered’s current line up is Kelly Shane Kuciemba, lead & rhythm guitars;
Herb Burke, bass guitar & vocals, Simon Dorfman, drums & percussion, and Brandon
Corsair, guitar.

Noroth formed in 2019 as a trio devoted to death metal carved from decay and slow
annihilation. Drawing from the cavernous gravity of their earliest influences, the band
strips the genre to its most suffocating core, massive riffs crafted from violence, and
a suffocating atmosphere that favours oppressive restraint over excess. Their back
catalogue includes three full-length releases, “It Dwells Amongst Us”, “Harbinger”,
and “Sacrificial Solace”, alongside a split with Grave Infestation, each recording
advancing a singular, monolithic vision.
Their music unfolds as a sustained collapse measured methodically, and merciless.
Lyrically and sonically, the band dwells in spiritual rot, the decline of humanity, the
erosion of false authority, and the religious excrement that consumes everything
beneath it. There is no spectacle and no redemption, only descent and decay.
