NEW RPB EP!
SHIRTS NOW AVAILABLE THROUGH SICKSERENADES.COM
Rape Pillage and Burn is exactly that…The meaning of the words! Violate, Attack, and Destroy the listener with audible Hell! Rape Pillage and Burn exists solely for this elite purpose. Rape Pillage and Burn was born in 1997, by Michael Sleavin (Divine Eve, Infernal Oak) with the goal of creating Raw, Aggressive, Brutal, Combative, and Extreme Metal Music. Various musicians were involved in RPB over time, but the groups were always dissolved/disbanded due to ideological, artistic direction and musical differences. For many years RPB’s mission schedule remained dormant.
In 2004, Michael Sleavin teams up with Richard Cabeza (Dismember, Murder Squad, Dark Funeral). Sharing the same philosophy and approach the two agreed on what needed to be done. In this day and age of safe metal RPB will exist to provoke and scorn the timid! With the desire to form RPB previous band mates, Matt Killen (Divine Eve, Infernal Oak) and Geoffrey Sawicky (Aesthetic Distance, Infernal Oak) join up and the Inferno began.
In 2005, RPB starts shaking the rust off by performing cover songs of Metal Giants Sodom, Death, and Kreator. The Intensity was infectious among the group. Metal was flowing with a fury in their veins. The musical direction and ideas RPB wanted to ambush the listener with were collective. Rapidly original RPB songs began to be written and perfected. Audible Raids were soon to be conducted and executed…Only they choose the time and place!
In Fall/Winter 2006, RPB enter Restoresound Studios with Jimi Bowman to record their debut EP “Songs of Death…Songs of Hell” and five songs were chosen out of the Audible Hell Inventory.

Winter/Spring/Summer 2007 RPB is once again dormant due to existential and unforeseen events. June 2007 Geoffrey Sawicky leaves RPB. During this time RPB form there own company Sick Serenades records and productions in order to best support Elite Old School Death Metal. After a tireless search in October 2007 Justin Coleman (Dagon, Valsgarde) join the ranks and the chaos once again begins...
The release of the EP will be in early 2008 on Sick Serenades records and productions. RPB will enter the studio in late January to record a very special release... Details pending for now.
For the time being RPB continues to write original material for future recordings and Audible Hell. Songs such as "Possessed" "Kingdom of Decay" "Crescent Moon God Eater" "Commando Infidel" "Spiritual Suicide" and "Crush The Relics" are filling the Audible Armory. Morale is high among RPB for future operations… So look out, you may be next to have napalm dropped upon your dreams!!!
