FUNERUS (USA/PA)

Some time around 1990 in and around the towns of Blairsville and Indiana, Pennsylvania, two long-time friends who had been getting into progressively heavier and more extreme forms of music decided they should start a death metal band. Jason Foust (drums) and Brad Heiple (guitar/vocals) had already been playing for a year or so calling themselves CREATIVE SICKNESS. But a change was soon to come. They opted to totally change the style and approach of the band. FUNERUS was born. Over the course of a couple years, and still working on achieving the most brutal sound, FUNERUS released two rehearsal demos, still without a bass player. At the time, finding people into totally brutal death metal was not an easy task. Luckily, though, Jason and Brad stumbled upon the idea of asking a friend of theirs if she would like to play with them. Finally, with a worthy bass player in the lineup, FUNERUS recorded a somewhat proper demo, albeit just another practice recording. But this demo was worthy enough to send out to zines and even get them a couple shows. However, after a hard-fought decision, Brad abruptly announced his departure from the band. They released a full length in 2003.
