Slave Cadaver was formed in a concrete garage in Wellington, New Zealand in early 2003 and began as a Carcass covers act when Jared (drums) and Eli (vocals) started jamming with Viv (guitar). Guy joined on bass shortly after and the band started rehearsing in mid-2003 and gigging as a 4-piece.
In March 2004 Dave Cadaver jumped in the mix on second guitar and Guy left to join Damned Age. The band continued gigging throughout the year and played "An Audience with the Devil" metal fest in Auckland in May 2004 enlisting Jason from Backyard Burial to fill in on bass for a few shows.
After trying out more bassists Guy returned and Slave recorded a 4 track demo EP "Seething Innards". Viv left in early 2005 and after a few months of inactivity the band continued on as a 4-piece.
In January 2006 Sam from Aethea was recruited on second guitar and the band went on to play a ludicrous amount of shows including with Internationals Blood Duster and local heavyweights Dawn Of Azazel, Ulcerate, Sinate, Aphelon, Wrath and heaps more. Sam left in March 2008 and the band has carried on as a 4-piece.
Slave Cadaver's music is a death metal/grindcore hybrid with heavy grooves and bizarre rhythms. Slave are currently working towards a debut full-length album due mid '08. They've also been confirmed to play with the band that first inspired them to play - the undisputed kings of grind CARCASS!
