Style
Odious Mortem's musical style features technically complex, down-tuned guitars and relentless pummelling drum work. Lyrical themes include, humanity, Earth, drugs, psychosis, greed, fear, suffering, possibility, social situations, annihilation, human consciousness, and the collapse of civilization[3].
Biography
Odious Mortem was formed in 2000 in Encinitas, CA by Manpreet Singh Saund (guitar, vocals), David Siskin (guitar, vocals) and KC Howard (drums). In 2003, they recorded and independently released a demo, Gestation of Worms which led to a deal with Unique Leader Records. The band recorded their debut album, Devouring The Prophecy in March 2004 at Legion Studios in Santa Cruz, CA and released it on February 8, 2005.[4][5]
In 2004, KC Howard joined death metal band Decrepit Birth as a full-time member. By 2006, the band had completed work on their second album and headed into Castle Ultimate Studios in Oakland, CA that November to record the material. The resulting album, Cryptic Implosion was released on April 24, 2007.[6][7] That year they also played at the Maryland Deathfest.[8]
In 2007, David Siskin left the band to focus more on his professional career and to rehash his love of the jungle, drum & bass genres. He is currently djing under the alias WAR//BREAKER and can be found lurking in the bay area playing lots of shows and focussing on the more experimental, drum driven, idm aspects of drum & bass. Check out [1] along with [2] for more details on that.
As of early 2009, the band are engaged in other projects and are planning a number of live performances.[9]
Other projects
Dan Eggers, Joel Horner and KC Howard were members of Decrepit Birth until 2010, and Anthony Trapani recently joined renowned death metal outfit Severed Savior.[9][10] David Siskin is playing electronic music under the alias WAR//BREAKER. [3]
