SUTURE

Suture hails from the southern swamplands of Louisiana, and has been brutalizing the southern reaches of the U.S. since 1998. They have released 3 demos , entitled " Bloodsoaked", "In Cryptic Bliss", and "Deconstructing Anatomy"
that were received very well in the Death metal underground. The latter scored them a deal with a new upcoming underground label called Deepsend Records. Along with several shows at festivals including 1999 Ohio Death fest, 2000
Texas Grind fest, 2001 November to Dismember and a small tour " Death from down South Tour" that stretched from Louisiana to Florida and back.
In 2002 Suture released " Carnivorous Urge to Kill" through U.S. label Deepsend Records. 9 tracks of gore filled southern fried death metal with brutal artwork defacing the cover by Tohishiro Egawa( Deeds of Flesh, Beheaded.etc.)
The cd sold out almost immediately from the bands own 350 copies issued to them through the label. In support of "Carnivorous" Suture headed out to play many shows in the gulf south area, hitting Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and
Florida also in 2002 Suture Headlined the Gathering of the Sick fest in New Mexico. The cd is out of print, limited to a single pressing of 1000 copies, and still has distro's and fans wanting to acquire this brutal release. In 2004 Suture
bought back the rights and artwork for the album from Deepsend Records in order to re-release it some time in the future. Unfortunately this release saw the end of suture's long time drummer Brent Smith due to personal issues. Later
he was replaced by now Devourment drummer Eric Park. In 2003 Suture was contacted by Amputated Vein Records in Japan about releasing the bands demos in a compilation. Thus " Morbid sculpture: Demo(n)ology" was released. All
3 demos were remastered for this release along with some tracks never heard before out side the Suture camp. Also 3 live videos were included on the disc, shot at the Gathering of the sick fest in 2002 and in Mississippi at one of their
first shows.
With a new drummer and a debut cd under their belts Suture headed out to play the 2003 Maryland death fest headlined by the mighty Suffocation! Two months earlier Suture was contacted and appeared on a 3 way split ( The Sick, the
Dead and The Rotten) released by the Italian label The Spew records with other sick acts as Lehavoth and Leukorrhea. This gave Suture a great opportunity to spread their sickness out of the U.S. and into the European countries that
maybe had not heard of them. As with the Release of their first cd the bands copies of the split release did not last long, selling out within 2 months. This release also saw the departure of original guitarist Lance Strickland and drummer
Eric Park. Now faced without a drummer Suture looked inward for the replacement as Jayson Ramsay jumped behind the kit and took over. Not even considering giving up Suture enlisted Shawn Broussard for vocal duties and went to
work writing new material and playing shows. After 3 months of writing Suture did a small 3 day tour of Texas to let everyone know that the band was still here and in full force. In the Summer of 2005 Shawn Broussard departed Suture in
the middle of recording their next cd Skeletal Vortex, due to creative diffrences and to form his own band, a month later he lost his life in a motorcycle accident (R.I.P. Brother ). Pressing on Suture completed work on Skeletal Vortex
and it was released later that year on UBR. A few months before its release Jayson Ramsay decided to leave Suture to persue his love art and moved to Colorado to attend the Art Institute. With the lack of interest in carring on
Suture was left dormant for many years.Until Now 2012, with the re-recorded, re-mixed a re-release of Skeletal Vortex due out on SFC records, Suture is now marching onward and preparing to re-record theyre debut cd Carnivorous
Urge to Kill, re-uniting the orignal band for these up coming release ! The war against everyone RETURNS !
