Visceral Evisceration was an Austrian metal band that blended gothic metal and death-doom.{{Cite web |title=Visceral Evisceration - Encyclopaedia Metallum: The Metal Archives |url=https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Visceral_Evisceration/3026 |access-date=2024-10-18 |website=www.metal-archives.com}} They were one of the first extreme metal bands to include female operatic vocals, contrasted by male grunts and clear vocals. Their songs are generally long and epic, combining slow doom riffs with mid-paced gothic metal. Lyrically, they focused on issues more prevalent in goregrind. After a demo, they released their sole album, Incessant Desire for Palatable Flesh, on Napalm Records. After the release of the album, they left Napalm and changed their name to As I Lay Dying (not to be confused with the US namesake), releasing a promo in 1995 before breaking up.
