Scalpel

about

Scalpel are a five piece Death Metal/Grind band from Attelboro, Massachusetts. Scalpel began in mid 2008, after the disbanding of Greg and Taylor's previous band, Morturion. It started out as nothing but a two-man studio project, the original intention being to play brutal, raw as fuck old school death metal. As time passed, and Taylor reunited with old friend Manny Egbert at the Berkelee Summer Guitar Sessions, the decision was made to recruit Manny and begin making this thing serious. The spots of drummer and bassist were filled and vacated many times over the year, until we found Mike and Ben. Mike Romero was asked to fill the spot of bassist, adding his fretless bass techniques to the formula in the footsteps of Death, Atheist, and Cynic. And, after time and time again of drummer replacement and failure, we recruited old time friend Ben "Dumptruck" Kelly into the lineup after he helped us out for the Summer Slaughter festival. Ben draws influences from such virtuosic drummers as Flo Mounier, John Longstreth, and George Kollias. Now, as a full band, we intend to break as many barriers in music as we possibly can, as well as show the world that death metal is here to stay. Come to our shows, listen to our shit, learn the words and love the tunes. Help spread the word and we will keep giving all you sick bastards something to feel nauseous to. strange facts in the Scalpel case is a flemish (Belgian) old-school Death metal project consisting of 2 members: Skullator on vocal
