Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Execration formed in Cleveland in 1990, with Matt Olivo on vocals and John Longstreth on guitar. Their sound drew from goregrind bands like Carcass and Cannibal Corpse, and they built a following in the underground metal scene. Their 1992 debut album 'Human Anthropology - Anthropophagi in Blood' became a goregrind staple, known for its blast beats and guttural vocals.
That album's graphic lyrics about cannibalism and violence drew criticism and made it hard for the band to find record deals. The Execration said their work was meant as artistic provocation, not endorsement. They've had several lineup changes over time, with Dan Evans on bass and Justin Marler on drums joining at different points.
They kept playing and recording through the controversies, maintaining a cult status in extreme metal. Their sound stayed rooted in that early goregrind approach, without much compromise to broader trends.
