Formed in Plymouth in 2000, Schiztome have spent the last five years perfecting their own brutal blend of metal combining elements of Thrash, Death Metal, the groove and dynamics of Hardcore and a good sense of song writing, helping lead the way forward for the future of British heavy music.

The band released a self titled four track demo in 2000 quickly gaining them a large local fan base and followed up with the acclaimed
'Puritanically Unreconstructed' in the summer of 2003. Undergoing the obligatory line up changes over the years, Schiztome have now settled on a solid line up featuring founding members Craig Baker (Vocals), Rich Parker (Drums), and Leigh Jones (Guitars) along with Jim Willumsen (Bass) and Geoff Holmes (Guitars).

The band have found growing popularity around the south west through intense gigging and opening for the likes of Stampin' Ground, Charger, Breed 77, Brutal Deluxe, Viking Skull, and Defenestration as well as headlining their
own high-octane live shows that are known to grab the audience by the throat and pound them into submission from start to finish.

In summer 2004 they signed with The JMG Agency (part of Copro Productions) who handle Bookings, Press and Promotion for the band. This led to them being offered a worldwide distribution deal on the Casket Music imprint (also part of Copro Productions) for their debut album 'The Art Of Dying' which showcases Schiztome's ability to create a challenging, intense modern sound that should see them win over many new fans.
