Skewered is a Dublin based death metal band formed in late 2004 under the name Necrosis, (Mark, Fred, Salvador and Luke) the band gigged and recorded under the name Necrosis, with Mark on vocals, Luke and Fred on guitar, Salvador on bass and Conor on drums. After a line up change in early 2006 (the exit of Conor) the band was without a drummer for a considerable period of time, in March of that year Freddy took on the responsibility of the kit and the band started back rehearsing, this line up lasted for half a year with some successful gigs before Luke was to leave the band. The band still wanted to progress forward and dawned the search for a new guitarist, but also felt a name change was in order (twelve registered Necrosis and countless Myspace ones).
The name change coincided with the entrance of new guitarist Andy into the band and it was at this point that the band became known as Skewered (November '06). Our first demo was recorded around the Christmas period of '06 and released at Dublins first Deathfest on March 30th.
