Cephalectomy promises to kill you and each of your family members slowly and painfully with each listen. Only strong-willed individuals with a morbid curiosity are advised to tackle this odyssey of blatant cruelty and sickness. Lesser-beings should consult with their physician or psychiatrist prior to evaluating Cephalectomy's slice of blasphemy. You have been warned.

Band/artist history

Originally formed under a different name during the mid 1990's, Cephalectomy went through several line up and style changes before finally coming together in 1998 as a solid project. Drawing from a variety of extreme styles, including death metal, black metal and grind, the band released their first demo, entitled "Gateway to the Gods",in 1997. At this time, the band's line up consisted of vocalist/guitarist Corey Andrews, bassist Jason Nichols, and drummer Clayton Horne. Horne was soon afterward removed from Cephalectomy due to lack of interest and evil spirit, but the "Gateway" demo generated enough interested to motivate the band to carry on. After a fairly unsucessful attempt to add former Spur drummer Chad Mitchell into the mix, they finally decided on becoming a 2 man project and in 1998 self produced their second demo, "Dark Waters Rise". Dark Waters Rise, although suffering from weak production, turned out to be a vast improvement over the previous demo, and met with a fair amount of enthusiasm from listeners. Injected with mystical/Lovecraft inspired themes, Cephalectomy's unique style, eventually refered to by some as "Mystigrind" - resulted in their signing to Discorporate Music in 1999. On Sign of Chaos, Cephalectomy's first full length recording, the band continued onward in their persuit of chaos, brutality and necronomic melody. Now after 4 years, Cephalectomy is releasing their sophomore album "Eclipsing The Dawn", which proves to be above anything the band has produced to date.

Have you performed in front of an audience?

We arent allowed to play live.. Conjuring an Elder God before about 1500 people causes some major problems with our parents.

Anything else?

Whatever you do... Dont do that.
