Bands-MUTILATION-

The band was first formed in 1991 by Marek (drums), Piotrek (bass), Slawek (vocals), Tomek (guitar), and Artur (guitar). In 1992 during a rehearsal/session Mutilation recorded their first track/album “The Last Convulsion” kept in death metal style, which drew the attention of the underground (death metal) press.

In the same year at MEWA studio in Rzeszów the very first studio recording entitled “Immortal Visions” took place, which included seven songs being a follow-up of the atmosphere from “The Last Convulsion”. Then the recording was mailed to then existing music companies which resulted in signing a contract with CARNAGE REC. and releasing the official “Immortal Visions” LP/cassette. Both the underground press and the official magazines (i.e. Metal Hammer – 3rd début of 93; Thrash’em All, and in several other then influential/recognized titles) approved of it.

1994 is indeed an important and at the same time unforunate year in the history of/for Mutilation as Slawek left the band and so did Artek some time after. The band had to put on ice for a couple of months. However, Mutilation managed to get them selves together and found a new guitarist – Sebastian. The new stuff pursuing the atmosphere of “Immortal Visions” was soon ready (to be recorded) but once again Fates interfered and the group fell apart.

After the time of complications and personal reshuffles a comeback is made possible when Slawek returned and the band acquired a new bass player — Michal. The crew began to compose music which did not stick to the classic death metal and finally recorded a new LP “The Future Remains The Past” in 1995 at TR Studio in Kraków. Unfortunately, due to a couple of reasons it was not released. An(-other) important moment came when the second guitarist Artek joined in. With this makeup the band began working on the next album and in the second half of 1999 recorded twelve songs still provisionally entitled “Invisible Turn”at Selani Studio in Olsztyn (including two cover versions “Breaking The Law” by Judas Priest and “Cornucopia” from Black Sabbath repertoire). Marek left the group in January 2001 but a new drummer – Marcin – takes his place. In December Mutilation was again troubled by dropouts – Artek and Michal left. Fortunately, Piotrek stepped in.

Renewed, the band prepared their new material – “Possessed By Reality recorded in/at the turn of September/November at Green Studio in Kraków , which apart from eight own tracks included a cover “Cenotaph” by Bolt Thrower. The music was once again good old death metal. After a short period/span Mutilation signed a contract with EMPIRE RECORDS for the compact disc release of “Possessed By Reality”!!!

In September 2002 the band was strengthened by a new member – the second guitarist Pawel was admitted. At the turn of May and June 2003 the band takes part in a tour “Possessed Tour 2003” in the company of Slovakian Contempt, Eternal Tear, Tromsnar, and Lemeroth. Except for that Mutilation has done/performed a great deal of single gigs.

At the moment a follow-up of “Possessed By Reality” is on its way – studio work will probably kick off on November 11th 2003. There are going to be more or less eight or nine songs on this album plus an extra cover version of “Mutilation” form the classic “Scream Bloody Gore” by Death. The present music written by Mutilation covers has features of brutal death metal based on so called old school of extreme music playing. The group members are open to all offers concerning playing concerts/live performances.
