Caiaphas are a five piece death metal band from gloucestershire who offer up a punishing and innovative sound which challenges the tried and tested death metal formula.Caiaphas formed in early 2007 with Mark Gleed (Vocals) and Ross Gardiner (Guitar) with the intentions of creating a blend of technicality and brutality. During the initial song writing process, they recruited Harry Jewell (Bass) who had developed a good reputation for being a talented bass player with similar influences. A 3-track demo was produced and brought to the attention of drummer Chris Barton whose drumming style was integral to the evolution of the bands sound. Chris introduced the rest of the band to guitarist Kai Cursons who was an experienced and enthusiastic guitarist from the area who went on to become the final member of Caiaphas.Since their formation Caiaphas have made their presence felt playing gig's across the southwest ( with many great bands including porkfarm and Ted maul) being extremely well received by audiences whose appreciation has helped them advance from an opening band to a headline act.
Â
 In the summer of 2008 Caiaphas recorded their debut E.P Scorn of the aborted which has also been very well received both by local audiences and internationally via myspace (the E.P has been uploaded to the player and can be purchased on cd from the band directly), With this E.P Caiaphas have created the foundations upon which they intend to build themselves a successful career in the extreme metal scene.
