Debauchery is a German death metal band from Stuttgart.
Founded in 2000 as Maggotcunt before changing their name in 2002, Debauchery was formed by the current vocalist, guitarist and bass guitarist Thomas Gurrath and the former drummer Dani.
The band's themes are mainly war and death, often involving the fictional god Khorne from the science fiction universe Warhammer 40,000 and its followers.
