Biography
In 1996, after Omega splitted, Wouter Vloebergh (guitars) and Mark Van De Velde (drums) decided to continue with brutal death Metal. Everything had to be rebuild, they decided to develop their style based on the song 'Evil Spirit'. Some years followed, guitarists and vocalists came by, but none of them stayed with the band.Then in the year 2000 Bart De Wit (vocals) and David Ooms (bass) joined the band. This was the beginning of 'Skull Collector'. Skull Collector did some performances and a demo record (And then there was ...) followed in 2003. David Ooms decided to leave and due to lack of time Bart De Wit left the band as well, even though he's still active with the band and always prepared to help. Around that time Mark played in another band (Celebrant) as well, they were looking for a new vocalist and found Kurt Straetemans. Pierre (an ex Celebrant vocalist) returned and became again the lead vocalist of Celebrant. Mark used this opportunity to ask Kurt Straetemans to become the new vocalist of Skull Collector, and until now he's still our 'voice of sickness'. During all those events David Voorzanger joined the band, this guitarist is one that 'got stuck' and still plays the second guitar in Skull Collector. Some gigs followed and Skull Collector recorded their first full cd:'Depravity Indulged Through Fresh Corporal Parts' (Label/Distro Rotten To the Core)
In august 2008 David Ooms rejoined the band. May 2009 David Ooms decided to leave the band again;

Press
...The demented, ultra-oldschool cover art tells the whole story. Primitive, raw, ferocious: these are the words that define Skull Collector on their sophomore LP, 'Depravity Indulged Through Fresh Corporal Parts'...
Vampire Magazine
...For purists (and masochists) only.
Evilized Webzine
Not from this earth, non-compromising, "South American" brutal death.
metalspheres.de
...These faults aside "Depravity Indulged Through Fresh Corporal Parts" is a veritable feast for underground death metal enthusiasts who don't mind primitive production values and the band's rather limited palette of riffs and grooves. A dense and primitive death metal tornado that puts Belgium solidly on the genre's underground map.
Shiver Records
......may not be big, and it’s certainly not clever, but, goddamn, is it enjoyable.........If you haven’t already guessed SKULL COLLECTOR play some of the filthiest, heaviest and downright disgusting music you’re likely to hear this side of a 3way pile up between SKINLESS, DEVOURMENT, and DISGORGE.
The Metal Observer
Imagine that you’re driving on the highway at 100 miles per hour, and you secretly hope all of a sudden an old woman will appear five meters in front of you, obligating you to use your windshield wipers and clean off the mess hanging on your bumper. If on the other hand, if you’re the kind of guy who prefers to leave the mess hanging in there, you’ll be a fan of Skull Collector’s latest achievement.
