Machetazo & Cianide - Machetazo / Cianide [Split] 7''EP (2005)

Cianide are US death metal band was formed in 1989 in Chicago, Illinois, by Mike Perun (bass/vocals) and Scott Carroll (guitar). Like so many others from their genre, Cianide made their initial impression with two demos, ''Funeral'' and ''Second Life''. The addition of drummer Jeff Kabella helped bring their crushing musicianship and steadfast exhortations on the nature of decomposition to a wider audience, and the trio went overground in 1992 with ''The Dying Truth''. Building on their influences (Hellhammer, Celtic Frost, Venom, Death), ''A Descent Into Hell'' (1994) delivered a further caustic epistle, including a cover version of Canadian death metal crew Slaughter’s ‘'Death Dealer'’. Kabella was replaced by Andy Kuizin on 1996’s ''Rage War 1996'' demo (later re-released by Cyronics Records), while the following year’s ''Death, Doom And Destruction'' found the band increased to a quartet with the addition of second guitarist Jim Bresnahan. Their first album of the new millennium, ''Divide And Conquer'' (2000), was released by Merciless Records. Reduced to a trio with Bresnahan’s departure. The distribution was good, and the band's following grew rapidly. Soon the band started writing and rehearsing new material for a next full length.
Songs were completed and the new album, 'Hell's rebirth', got recorded, with advance copies to shop around to labels worldwide. From Beyond Productions heard the advance, recognized the sheer intensity of the material, and a deal was closed soon thereafter. The album will be presented as CD and limited LP. With 'Hell's rebirth', Cianide again stays true to their initial intentions to create pure and heavy doom death for those who can appreciated things the old school way.

Machetazo - The Maggot Sessions [EP] (2003)

 

Machetazo were formed in La Coruña, Spain in 1994 as a side project of two other death metal bands from the area. Initially, they were more noisecore-oriented than grindcore. They recorded two demos, 46 Cabezas Aplastadas por un Yunque Oxidado in 1995, and Realmente Disfruto Comiendo Cadáveres in 1997. The latter was an international underground success, and in 1999 was remastered by the American label Fudgeworthy Records.

At this point Machetazo stopped being a side project and became a band in its own right, although line-up problems forced them to continue with only two members. They recorded their first album Carne de Cementerio in 1999, which was released by Razorback Records. After this they released numerous split singles. With Dopi as the sole surviving original member together with the new guitarist Rober, Machetazo recorded their second full length, Trono de Huesos (2002). In this work the band gives tribute to the seminal grind sound in a work in the vein of bands like Carcass or Repulsion. After the recording of Trono de Huesos Machetazo created a more stable line-up, that still exists today: Dopi (drums and vocals); Carlos "Cadaver" (bass and vocals); and Rober (guitar).

After testing this line-up with two singles, Machetazo released their third full length in 2005, Sinfonías del Terror Ciego, a concept album about the Spanish film maker Amando de Ossorio. This record brought them to a wider audience than ever before and 2006 was a year of intense touring and projects. They released a split single with Total Fucking Destruction on the American label Relapse in 2006. In July 2008 they released their album Mundo Cripta, with a more death sound, sharper, but still retaining the essence of Machetazo. In late 2008, Carlos Cadaver left the band. Santi from the grindcore band Nashgul, was the new bass player.

In 2010 Santi left the band and the group returned to remain as a duo recording an album of covers titled Necrocovered that includes covers of bands like Carnivore, Master, Darkthrone, Kreator, Corrupted, Septic Death and Obituary counting on diverse collaborations to the voices of different members of friendly bands.At the end of 2010 he joins the band as a bassist for Iñaki's live from Looking For An Answer, Moho or Dishammer.

After several splits and EP's, the band released their fifth album titled Ruin in 2013, a record that returns them to a certain extent to their more direct beginnings of Trono de Huesos but experiencing a little more showing a more facet Doom metal in certain cuts of the disc, is their darkest record, direct and negative to date in both music and lyrics.Months after the release of Ruin, Iñaki abandoned his position as bassist to direct Iago Alvite as a new bassist and a permanent member of studio and live, which had already played in other local bands like Frustación.The band dissolves in July 2014.

Machetazo & Ribspreader - Untitled / Dead As Fuck [Split 7''EP] (2007)

 

-Machetazo se formaron en La Coruña en 1994 como proyecto paralelo de otro par de bandas death metal de la zona. Inicialmente eran más noisecore que grindcore. Graban dos demos, "46 cabezas aplastadas por un yunque oxidado" en 1995, y "Realmente Disfruto Comiendo Cadáveres" en 1997. Esta última les vale un gran reconocimiento internacional, y es reeditada en 1999 por el sello Fudgeworthy Records de Estados Unidos. Utilizan como intro para sus canciones, cortos de películas como ya lo hicieran otros como Mortician o Impétigo, un recurso no muy utilizado en la actualidad. Es entonces cuando Machetazo dejan de ser un proyecto paralelo para convertirse en una banda estable, aunque problemas de formación les obligan a permanecer como dúo. El logo de la banda fue diseñado por Chris Reifert (Autopsy).
 

 -Ribspreader was formed in June of 2002 by Rogga Johansson and Andreas Karlsson, both also of Paganizer. Their debut album features the famous Swedish musician and producer Dan Swanö on drums and lead guitar. All albums are or will be out on Vic Records.
