Gruesome

The idea for Gruesome came about after guitarist/vocalist Matt Harvey Exhumed and drummer Gus Rios completed a stint with the Death tribute tour Death To All, the pair deciding to go all out on a Death tribute, focusing on that band's seminal early albums, particularly 1988's Leprosy. Recruiting another pair of death metal veterans, Gruesome was born and in short order Savage Land was written and recorded, featuring not only a spot-on recreation of the Leprosy style and sound but even similar artwork by the same artist, famed death/thrash metal album cover legend Ed Repka. And that really says it all here, Harvey and crew take this beyond simple influence to full-on homage, and more power to them.

Recent album: Dimensions Of Horror, released on June 5, 2025.
