The epic tale now known through the journey of 5 men to spread the plague of anger and hate among the masses simple known as the band Deleterious began in late 1999 by Brian Borden on vocals, Kevin Knight on guitar, and Jimmy Cassell on guitar and vocals. Freddie Watson played drums for the miraculous group for a few years before leaving the band and then time vocalist Brian Borden took over drumming. The bass lines switched from axe to axe and hand to hand with many different bassists. The last two known bassists to play for the band were Andy Grigsby and Blake Luker(Flatlyne, Lords of Salem). After Blake left the band in late 2007, Nick Dimak(Murdered in Silence) took his spot. Going back to Brian Borden leaving vocals and playing drums, the replacement Jarrod Smith(Dark Hour revelation) played with the band for 3 years before quitting in Late 2006 to be replaced by then-time Fill-in Bassist Seth hunt(30 Silver Shards, Dreams Forgotten). The Current Line-up is the strongest most talented line-up in the now almost 9 years history of this band. their long overdue EP "A Gaze into Obscurity" is slowly becoming less "obscure" through a recently released rough demo of the CD. Deleterious travels out of town for shows nearly every weekend and there are talks of an early summer tour in 2008. Look out, they could be coming to a city near you soon. The Shoals area and Northern Alabama area in general has a long history of music. But heavier, controversial, and underground music have always been frowned upon in this part of the world. For a band with all three of these boundaries to stay alive and make some pretty big accomplishments would not be possible for a lot of other bands. Deleterious is known for its heavy breakdowns, its classically-inspired instrumentals, and "kick you in the face" thrash riffs. These guys have earned a lot of respect and are given credit for at times keeping the metal scene in the North Alabama area alive. While the band doesn't themselves take credit for this, they do modestly say they had a helping hand in it all. Keep your eyes and ears open for them, because they will surprise you.
