Visceral Disgorge

Visceral Disgorge originally formed in early 2007, coming from the remains of a former death metal band known as Eaten Alive. Wanting to go in a heavier direction than their previous band, Travis Werner and Eric Vieraitis began forming the foundation of what would later be known as Visceral Disgorge. In late 2009, Visceral Disgorge recorded a single demo track which received the attention that resulted in the signing of a record deal with Japanese death metal label Amputated Vein Records.{{cite web|title=Amputated Vein Records|url=http://www.amputatedvein.com/frame_e.html|publisher=Amputatedvein.com|date=February 27, 2010}} Soon after, they prepared for the worldwide release in 2011 of their debut album Ingesting Putridity,{{cite web|title=Visceral Disgorge Release Ingesting Putridity Debut Album;Video Trailer Online|url=http://bravewords.com/news/visceral-disgorge-release-ingesting-putridity-debut-album-video-trailer-online|publisher=Bravewords.com|date=June 15, 2011}} which showcased the graphic illustrations of Japanese artist Toshihiro Egawa for the album artwork.{{cite web|title=Album Art |url=http://toshihiroegawa.com/html/cdcover-art/002/050.html|publisher=Toshihiroegawa.com|date=2011}} The album received positive feedback from several sources.{{cite web|title=Visceral Disgorge – Ingesting Putridity|url=http://www.stereokiller.com/newsreviews/article.cfm?intarticleid=10670|publisher=Stereokiller.com|date=August 18, 2011}}{{cite web|title=No Clean Singing – Visceral Disgorge|url=http://www.nocleansinging.com/tag/visceral-disgorge/|publisher=Nocleansinging.com|date=October 20, 2011}}

In 2014, guitarist Steve Rosenzweig died{{cite web|title=Visceral Disgorge Guitarist Dies|url=http://lambgoat.com/news/22735/Visceral-Disgorge-guitarist-dies|publisher=Lambgoat.com|date=June 18, 2014}} forcing the band to find the replacement Charlie Marvel. The band released a memorial music video in his memory for their song "Necrocoprophagia".{{cite web|title=Visceral Disgorge Necrocoprophagia official live memorial video|url=http://www.metalinjection.net/video/visceral-disgorge-necrocoprophagia-official-live-memorial-video|publisher=Metalinjection.net|date=August 29, 2014}}

The band performs a style of brutal death metal which uses frequent slam riffs and guttural growl vocals. They use down tuned guitars often incorporating fast and complex guitar riffing as well as slam riffs and breakdowns, alongside an onslaught of blast beats and double bass drumming, as well as a sophisticated and technical sense of song writing. The band's lyrics and imagery primarily focus on gratuitous graphic violence which is highly influenced by various works of horror fiction, science fiction, and horror films.{{cite web|title=Visceral Disgorge Lyrics|url=http://www.darklyrics.com/lyrics/visceraldisgorge/ingestingputridity.html|publisher=Darklyrics.com|date=2011}}{{cite web|title=Interview With Visceral Disgorge – Teeth of the Divine|url=http://www.teethofthedivine.com/featured/interview-with-visceral-disgorge/|publisher=teethofthedivine.com|date=February 17, 2014}}{{cite web|title=Visceral Disgorge – Ingesting Putridity CD review|url=http://www.explicitlyintense.com/reviews/cd-review/visceral-disgorge-ingesting-putridity/|publisher=Explicitlyintense.com|date=November 15, 2014}}
