Embedded is the debut studio album by industrial metal band Meathook Seed, released in March 1993 by Earache Records. [1] The group was founded as a side project by Napalm Death guitarist Mitch Harris in 1992, with the goal to mix industrial metal with death metal. The band was started as a result of collaboration between Harris, and Obituary members Donald Tardy and Trevor Peres, who handled the drums and vocals respectively. [2]
