Artist History
First breathing life in 1991, Crematorium entered the Los Angeles
underground scene as a band that would defy the preset laws of
what extreme music was in the scene of the day. Hints of what was
to come was evident in even the bands early works such as the
Dark Manifestations (1993) demo, the Unholy Massacre (1994)
EP and the Epicediums Of The Damned (1997) full length. Recording
various cover songs for compilation albums through 1997-1998,
Crematorium laid to waste the Metallica classic Whiplash which threw
the band in the faces of fans allover the world. Though the band had
their own material, fans found it hard to find anything out about this
band. Sadly enough the band was plagued with an ever changing
line-up and when things seemed to be looking up, Crematorium
fell out of existence. Throughout the years of 1998 through the end of
2000, Crematorium laid dead in the water and nothing was heard
from them. After 2 years and a lot of trying Crematorium finally made
the commitment to try the idea of being a band again. During
2001 Crematorium entered DDG studios to record the now classic
and out of print A World Where Only Nightmares Prevail (2001) EP.
The EP served as a raw offering which saw Crematorium further
expand upon their sound and add a new level of dedication from the
core of the band. Playing shows and gathering reviews and radio
airplay throughout 2001, Crematorium caught the eye of Prosthetic
records and a deal was signed immediately. In 2002 Crematorium
entered Speed Semen Clove Factory and began recording the For
All Our Sins (2002) full length with Michael Rozon (recorded, mixed,
mastered, produced). For All Our Sins yet again saw Crematorium
experimenting with their sound and yet again pushing them into
a realm all their own. The new full length goes from dark ambient
noise to old school style groove oriented death metal to sludgey
doom breakdowns to metalcore style progressions to thrash metal
influenced riffing to old school hardcore and everything in
between. Crematorium serves as an example of a band that's
ever changing and also offers up the question of what will they try next...?
Plans for the band as of now include touring, writing another album in
2003 for an early 2004 release and pushing the boundries until
Crematorium is etched in the history books of the global underground. |
