Gruesome is an American death metal band that pays homage to the old-school sound and aesthetics of the genre's formative years, particularly drawing inspiration from the legendary group, Death. Gruesome was formed around 2014 by musicians with a deep passion for death metal's history and a commitment to its raw, unadulterated roots. The band's lineup features guitarist/vocalist Matt Harvey (of Exhumed), drummer Gus Rios (ex-Malevolent Creation), guitarist Daniel Gonzalez (Possessed), and bassist Robin Mazen.

With a distinct nod to the pioneering work of Death and its late frontman Chuck Schuldiner, Gruesome's discography, including releases like "Savage Land" (Deluxe Version), "Dimensions of Horror," and "Twisted Prayers," resonates with the gritty essence of '80s and '90s death metal. Their music is characterized by ferocious riffing, relentless drumming, and morbidly poetic lyrics addressing themes of horror and mortality. Gruesome has managed to capture the spirit of the classics while contributing their own brand of macabre storytelling and technical proficiency, as evidenced in their more recent releases like "Twisted Horror" and the singles "Fatal Illusion," "Inhumane," and "A Waste of Life." The band's dedication to the genre's roots is not only a tribute to death metal but also a fresh take on the style for a new generation of metal aficionados.
