Waking the Cadaver is an American death metal band known for their uncompromisingly brutal sound and explicitly graphic lyrics, emerging from Shore Points, New Jersey in the early 2000s. Their music, a relentless assault that blends elements of death metal, slam, and hardcore, has carved out a distinct niche within the extreme metal scene. The band first gained notoriety with their 2007 debut, "Perverse Recollections of a Necromangler," an album that set the tone for their gruesome lyrical content and punishing musical direction.

Over the years, Waking the Cadaver has released several albums that have built upon the foundation laid by their debut, with titles like "Beyond Cops. Beyond God." (2010) and "Real-Life Death" (2013) reinforcing their reputation for crafting densely heavy and lyrically shocking music. The band's more recent releases, including "Authority Through Intimidation" and "Corpse Decomposition," continue to push the boundaries of death metal, showcasing their evolution in sound while maintaining the raw intensity that has defined their career. Despite lineup changes and the evolving landscape of metal, Waking the Cadaver has remained a steadfast presence, dedicated to delivering brutally honest music that resonates with fans of the genre's most extreme variants.
