About Me
HEADROT started out in late 1988 with Skip Bradshaw on drums, Jody G. on guitar and Chris Sears on guitar as a concept band. In early 1989 bassist Derek Moniz joined. That was the start of it but there would be many changes before the final line up. Tuned down to B (and ready for the heavy) with five songs they had been practicing, they played a couple of shows that didn't really go over too well. One night while at a party, Skip ran into a popular local Speed / Thrash band called SELF DESTRUCT and started talking to guitarist Mike Brown and it was like these guys new each other forever! So after smokin' a bunch together, Mike asked Skip to come down and try out drumming and he agreed. But it didn't quite work out that way, no one wanted to keep SELF DESTRUCT going and everybody wanted to do something different. So bassist Joe Lewis joined VITAL REMAINS and Ken and Mike joined HEADROT. Jody G. was no longer in, and Mike and Ken learned the five songs already written and added five of their own songs. After eight months of continuous practice, in late 1990 HEADROT went back into the studio to record. The debut demo was finally done, a little unpolished, but we wanted it raw and heavy! A few thousand copies were released.Since hatred, blood, guts, dismemberment and cannibalism was everything the music was about, the first demo was entitled "I Gulp Your Guts" - released in March of 1991 the demo was a hit in the underground Death Metal scene. Live shows followed... New York with the now infamous MORTICIAN. Ken left the band and now had more time to drink, which was cool. Dan Sauro from PROCREATION joined and proved to be just what HEADROT was looking for, jacked, putrid and heavy a fucking vocalist! More shows with PUNGENT STENCH, SHIT SCUM, ANAL CUNT, ROTTREVORE, REPULSION, MORTICIAN, HUMAN REMAINS, VITAL REMAINS, MYTHIC, AUTOPSY, PHLEGM, INCANTATION, BRUTAL TRUTH, DECOMPOSED (US), DERKETA, EMBALMER, GUTTED PULP, DISABLED, LUCIFER'S HAMMER, BLOOD OF CHRIST, MUTILATION, CADUCITY, CIANIDE, TRANSGRESSOR, NUTSCREAMER, CORPSE GRINDER, BURIED BENEATH, SHUD, FESTERDAY, IMPALED NAZARENE, IMPETIGO, OBSCURITY and UNBOUNDED TERROR. the list is long.The two demos - "I Gulp Your Guts" and "The Agonizing Sufferance of Dismemberment" along with the "HeadRot" 7 inch will be available end of 2010 on CD from Pathos Productions, check back for updates!
