Drawn And Quartered

**Drawn And Quartered** is a Seattle-based death metal outfit that’s been churning out brutal, unapologetically raw tunes since their formation in 1993. Founding members Herb Burke (vocals/bass), Simon Dorfman (guitar), and Kelly Kuciemba (drums) have kept the band’s core intact for decades, cementing their status as underground legends. Known for their loyalty to old-school death metal aesthetics, they’ve dropped relentless albums like *Hail Infernal Darkness* and *Congregation Pestilence* through labels like Krucyator Productions and Moribund Records, earning a cult following among fans of the genre’s grim, uncompromising side.

The band’s recent work stays true to their love for apocalyptic themes and blistering riffs. Releases like *Proliferation of Disease* and *Extermination Revelry* (both in deluxe editions) double down on their signature blend of murky atmospheres and visceral aggression. While they’ve never chased mainstream trends, Drawn And Quartered’s dedication to primal death metal has solidified their reputation as a reliable force in the underground—perfect for anyone craving music that’s as merciless as it is authentic.
