Gore Metal is the debut studio album by American death metal band Exhumed, released by Relapse Records on October 27, 1998. [1] It is their only album until 2017's Death Revenge to feature bassist Ross Sewage.
According to founding member Matt Harvey, Gore Metal was the album where Exhumed developed its vision, although he conceded that "we were still very loose and sloppy and didn't really have a handle on recording at all. Listening back to that record, I like most of the songs, but the production is awful sounding." [2]
The band recorded several songs for the album that were lost when producer James Murphy, then suffering from brain cancer and acting "erratically", was evicted from his studio in Oakland. [2]
All songs written by Matt Harvey, except where noted.
