Technical Death Metal

Decrepit Birth is a brutal technical death metal band formed in 2001 by Matt Sotelo - guitars, Bill Robinson - vocals, and Derek Boyer – bass. Originally the intention was to play devastating, brutal, technical death metal, mixed with influences from the early 1990’s Florida death metal scene. Since Matt and Derek had at one time both played in Southern California band, Deprecated, it was easy for the two of them to begin collaborating on material for the first full length Decrepit Birth album “…And Time Begins”.

Hate Gallery’s debut album ‘Compassion Fatigue’ has fire in its eyes, puke on its shoes and a point to make. It has the ear for an argument as well as the ear for a tune. At a blush over 30 minutes, ‘Compassion Fatigue’ carries no fat. It gets in, says its piece and gets out. Just how it should be. ‘Compassion Fatigue’ will be released on November 3rd on The Unit Music Label, distributed by Sony/BMG in Scandinavia and Cargo in the U.K.

Before they split up, there was plans for an album called "Forever Embalmed" that would include four live tracks, both demos prior to the debut and the tracks from the demo released after the debut album.
