grindcore

there are 5 acts using the name DEAD: #1: DEAD was founded in early May 1990 by Uwe (b/v), Dany (g/v) & Peter (d/v). Main target at that time was playing Gore/Grind/Death in its rawest form ala good old (!) Carcass, Pungent Stench, etc. But lyrically it was totally replaced after the release of the 2nd 7”ep “Slaves to abysmal perversity” by the nowadays well-known dirty humour.. DEAD split up on 22nd May 1998 - on their last gig at the “FTC II” – Festival.

In autumn of the year 2004 after the birth of the jewish prophet the idea to establish the musical terror command that preaches the gore to the world today under the name Satan´s Revenge On Mankind begun to form. At this time the split of Fleischwunde, once rulers of the rehearsal house Lobby, was obviously soon to come. Drummer The Almighty Mr.Goreblast devoted himself more and more to his liking gore grind and started writing lyrics for riffs that existed since long ago.
