Grotesque is a four piece brutal technical death band from Perth, WA. Their unique style consists of tight, technical sweeping with catchy, pulsating rhythms, award winning finger picking bass, gravity blasting, double kick insanity & various gutbusting gutturals. Their debut album is a must for all death metal fans especially those into Decrepit Birth, Necrophagist, Suffocation & Visceral Bleeding. With a ferocious live performance & sound, its easy to see why this band has become one of Australia's finest.

Grotesque first began in June of 2004 as the brainchild of Perth resident Marc Hawkins, his goal was to begin a new breed of death metal and not adhere to the modern trends of the day. Over the course of the next 12 months, the line-up we see today was gradually coming to shape. After months of double rehearsals every week, the band had then written the material they had been striving for and now accomplished, mixing the similar yet diverse tastes of each member to collaborate and produce what we know today. Mark delivering his brutal and technical guitar riffs mixed with the relentless blasts and unbroken kick patterns of Trevor combined with the insane finger picked bass of Simon and the devouring gutturals of Tarren to make what most say as some of the finest home grown death metal the scene has ever experienced.

Grotesque continued hitting the local scene with their tight act to then be noticed by 'the right people'. Moving very quickly through the local scene they have then since supported international acts such as Nile + 2, Decapitated, Suffocation, Dismember, Blood Duster + 2, Psycroptic + 3, Alarum and many others, quickly growing there already large fan base. Now having signed to Prime Cuts Music, the band is ready to release their debut full length album "Museum Of Human Disease". With an Australian tours booked for March 2008, Grotesque are ready to deliver a sledgehammer to the face of the Australian metal public. With International distribution awaiting, we can only watch as this phenomenal outfit proceeds to shock and impress the masses.
