CONTORTED was formed in Tampa, FL in 1997.After the last show and break-up of the band BRUTALITY at the infamous "Milwaukee Metal Festival" XI. Three of the members of BRUTALITY went on to forge a new band called CONTORTED.Reaching beyond the limits, CONTORTED performs extreme brutal death-metal, with influences from all types of music.In 2003, after attracting the attention of a Record Label from Poland (Still Dead Productions), CONTORTED signs a recording contract to release their debut 12-Song CD/LP which will be entitled: " Of Worldly Sins". In the beginning, the band went through several member additions/changes along the way, enlisting the help of friends/musicians like: Bryan Hipp(Brutality,Cradle of Filth,Diabolic),Steve Bailey(Execration),Jamie Primm(Burning Inside), Robin Mazen (Demonomacy,Acrimonium), and Dave Sawyer(Eulogy). Until 2003,when they arrived at the most stable and proffessional line-up to date.CONTORTED'S members are: Ed Webb-Bass,Vocals/ Pete Sykes-Guitars,Vocals/ Demian Heftel-Guitars and James Coker- Drums. Since the band's inception, CONTORTED'S existence has spanned over seven years so far.CONTORTED has performed "Live" at shows,festivals and fundraiser events with many bands including:CANNIBAL CORPSE, DEICIDE,MONSTROSITY,DYING FETUS,DIABOLIC,,NASTY SAVAGE,ACHERON,ULCER,AMON AMARTH,BURNING INSIDE,LOWBROW,UNHOLY GHOST and MALEVOLENT CREATION to name a few!! CONTORTED "Live" shows Kick Ass! Devastating audiences with unmistakable force, mesmerizing the crowds and capturing their attention! Opening up doors to new dimensions, heavy and pure.The songs consist of a twisted array of intricate harmonies, solid heavy rhythms,killer leads,intense lyrics,brutal-sick vocals and impaling drums.Combined with the experience of performing "Live" on television and also recently featured on an upcoming Motion Picture Film entitled: "The Essence of Irwin"(produced by Downright Swell Prod./Orlando) CONTORTED prove their Superiority!! In 1998, they recorded a 3-song demo called"Grave Intent", in 2002, they recorded a 4-song "self-titled" demo,and then in 2003, they released their ultra-brutal, 5-song "Aftermath" demo and began recording their debut full-length CD/LP ("Of Worldly Sins")to be released in early 2004!! (Still Dead Productions/Poland) And so, the CONTORTED legacy lives on! Named "One of the Best New Bands in Florida" by Rivot Rag Magazine and Cacophony Worldwide Metal Radio, CONTORTED is a must for the hungry masses, unleashing the animal in us all, with talented musical arrangements that form the onslaught of songs like: "Eviscerated", "Reawakening the Pestilence", "Nostradamus", and " Carnage of Withered Remains".
