Exhumed is an American death metal band from San Jose, California, most recently signed to Relapse Records. They were formed in 1990, when sole remaining founding member Matt Harvey was at the age of 15. Exhumed spent much of the ensuing decade releasing numerous demos, split CDs, and EPs. The band finally recorded their debut album, the genre-refining and critic-repulsing "Gore Metal" in 1998. The album crystallized the old-school Death Metal meets full-on Grindcore sound forged during the recordings of their last demo and first split CD ("Horrific Expulsion of Gore" and "In the Name of Gore").
This led to the band's first US tour and festival appearances (their only previous out of California shows had been 9 dates in central Europe in 1997 supporting "In the Name of Gore"). The band continued to change line-ups with the release of the back-to-basics sophomore record "Slaughtercult" in 2001. The album was a blatant blend of the band's influences. This album allowed the band to do three US tours, and their first proper European tour, including co-headlining festivals like Fuck the Commerce and Obscene Extreme. The band also appeared at the Wacken Open Air festival.
In 2010 the band reunited to start work on a new album. The line up is Matt Harvey on guitars and vocals, Leon del Muerte on bass and vocals, Wes Caley on guitar and Danny Walker on drums. - Wikipedia
