Bio

Conceived in a concrete garage/pit of dispair in Wellington, New Zealand in early 2003 when Jared (drums) and Eli (vocals) started jamming some Carcass with Viv (guitar). Guy joined on bass shortly after and the band started rehearsing and gigging as a Carcass covers act.

In March 2004 Dave Cadaver jumped on second guitar and Guy left to join Damned Age. The band started working on originals and continued gigging throughout the year playing "An Audience with the Devil" metal fest in Auckland in May enlisting Jason from Backyard Burial to fill in on bass.

Guy returned later in the year and the band recorded a 4 track demo EP "Seething Innards". Viv left in early 2005 and after a few months of inactivity continued as a 4-piece.

In January 2006 Sam from Aethea was recruited on second guitar and the band played relentlessly in Wellington and around the country including shows with Internationals Blood Duster, Psycroptic, Ruins & The Berzerker and local heavyweights Dawn Of Azazel, Ulcerate, Sinate, Aphelon, Wrath and dozens more. Sam left in March 2008 and the band carried on as a 4-piece until Count Daveula reliquished duties in August. Josh from Deny and Zeke from Evil Alchemy/The Adventures of Mikejoffa were enlisted on guitars shortly before scoring support with legendary grind kings Carcass in 2008. The same year they released the 'Slave Girls from Beyond Infinity' EP, a concept album based on the film of the same title. Josh left a year later and the band performed random outings with original guitarist Viv. Sam later joined again on second guitar and in November they'll play their tenth anniversary show at Medusa with local tyrants Bulletbelt and Cenosphere and old buds Aethea and Wrath.

Slave Cadaver's music is a death metal/grindcore hybrid with heavy grooves and bizarre rhythms. Their first full length album of new material is set in the works for 2014.
