Dehumanized is a band that has made a significant impact within the death metal scene, particularly known for their brutal approach and technical prowess. Formed in the mid-1990s in New York, Dehumanized forged their sound amidst the burgeoning East Coast death metal movement, establishing themselves with their unrelenting ferocity and complex song structures. The band initially gained attention with their demo "Terminal Punishment" in 1996 and soon after released their debut album "Prophecies Foretold" in 1998, which became a revered classic in underground death metal circles.

Following a period of inactivity, the powerhouse ensemble made a forceful comeback in the 2010s, solidifying their standing in the genre's modern iteration. Their more recent work includes the full-length albums "Controlled Elite" in 2012, and "Beyond the Mind" in 2016, both of which showcased the band's evolution without sacrificing the intensity and technicality they are known for. With these releases, and despite lineup changes through the years, Dehumanized has maintained a loyal following and continues to influence new bands within the extreme metal community. "Problems First," their punishing EP, further expands their ruthless discography and reasserts their dedication to their craft. The band's name, Dehumanized, echoes their sonic identity: fiercely unyielding and aggressively intricate, a testament to the enduring power and appeal of death metal.
