Exhumation

On the 5th of April, 2002, a phenomenon was given birth to. A phenomenon that promised to threaten the very basis of what is termed as 'socially acceptable'. A phenomenon borne out of the dark, dreary minds of four unique individuals. A phenomenon we all now know as Exhumation. Just four guys set out to create the most brutal, extreme music, and bring a much needed dose of searing brutality into the world.

In 1998 , Aditya, Prashant and Yash, formed a practise band called Mortuary. Mortuary lasted for a comparatively short period, and the guys stuck to playing thrash metal. After some time, Prashant left for the United States to pursue his higher studies. Over the years, they were captivated by the extreme side of heavy music, Death Metal. And the four decided that this was what they wanted to exude as musicians. It was the exact same feeling that each of us come across sometime in our lives when we feel 'this is exactly what I want to do'. In early 2002, Aditya and Yash came across Aritro - a bassist who shared their enthusiasm and love for extreme music. In Spring 2002, Prashant returned to India on a permanent basis, and Exhumation was born.

Other commitments forced the band to practise collectively only for a month in the first year of its conception. They were for the first time officially introduced to the world in the first half of 2003 when they unleashed their fury at the Infinity Sunday Jam, and established themselves as a force to be reckoned with. Timir Chimulkar of Sceptre fame, an avid supporter of the band, who was present at that gig aptly called the band as a 'resurrection' in the Indian metal scene.

The journey began then, and the band has since performed at various venues including DeathFest 2003, and have also played at Pune. The band essentially plays only originals, but for a few shows they will play a few covers since they lack a full setlist comprising of only originals at present. "We'd rather play 3-4 quality originals than 10 crappy ones".
