Broken Hope is an American death metal band that arose from the depths of the underground scene in the late 1980s. Founded in 1988 by guitarist Jeremy Wagner and original vocalist Joe Ptacek, Broken Hope swiftly carved out a niche for themselves with their unrelentingly brutal and gory style. They captured the attention of the metal community with their debut album, "Swamped in Gore" (1991), which set the tone for their gruesome lyrical content and intense sonic assault.

As the years progressed, Broken Hope continued to refine their approach to death metal, releasing several more critically acclaimed albums, such as "The Bowels of Repugnance" (1993), "Repulsive Conception" (1995), and "Loathing" (1997). Despite a hiatus and the tragic passing of Joe Ptacek in 2010, the band returned with a rekindled lineup and released "Omen of Disease" in 2013, reaffirming their commitment to the genre and their fans. Their latest offerings, including the album "Mutilated and Assimilated" (2017) and its visceral singles such as "The Carrion Eaters" and "The Meek Shall Inherit Shit," showcase a band that remains as relentless and relevant as ever in the modern death metal landscape. Broken Hope's legacy is underscored by their unyielding dedication to the extreme side of metal and their indelible mark on the genre.
