This profile was edited with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.4
Mummification started in september of 2003. Austin Spence left the band CIRIBUS to pursue a more extreme musical project. He soon met up with Adam Weber (guitar ) who shared the same view and musical tastes. Adam had already played in various metal projects around california such as Occision and the two quickly began writing material. The music they created was very complex and grindy ; but with a sense of melody and dynamics. They were excited about the material and decided to add Luie Gamboa ( vocals ) previously of CIRIBUS , and Mike Williams ( bass ) to the line up. In November of 2003 Mummification released their first 3 song demo titled "Runes of blood" and started distributing it to the metal masses at local Cannibal Corpse shows,fests, and radio stations. In march of 2004 Mummification embarked on their first west coast tour with local bands Hadan and Embryonic Devourment. The tour went great and included bands such as Serpens Aeon, Drawn and Quartered, Desolation, Disharmony, Skitzo, Epicedium and many other reputable metal bands. Now with a few shows under their belt they decided to record at Trident Studios Apr. 20th 2004 . The recording came out very nicely and was engineered by Juan Urteaga of the band VILE. 2004 Mummification playing shows to promote their new release. Playing alongside such bands as CANNIABLE CORPSE,OBITUARY,DARK FUNERAL,IMPALED, SADISTIC INTENT, BEHEMOTH, DEEDS OF FLESH,SEVERED SAVIOR,ANAL BLAST, CATTLE DECAPITATION and countless other underground heavyweights. 2005 Mummification added a 2nd guitarist Alex Ralls.We felt we wanted another savage guitar player. Alex added a unique sense of brutal leads and comes from a heavy music trained background and is a part of what that makes Mummification today. 2005 lost long time member Austin Spence do to physical injury that occured while playing drums. 2006 Mummification soon started the hunt for the New Drummer.We found Sam Lanyon 17yr old from the band Eviscerate.Sam took us all by suprise as to his speed and professional skills. So we asked him to play with us with Obituary,Deeds of Flesh and Severed Savior. He crushed live and Mummification decided he was the man for the job. he's pure bone breaking force and Mummification is excited about the new songs were writing togeather. 2006 update- Mummification is in a heavy writing phase right now. We have 4 songs done for the new album and another 2 in the works. Mummification will crush you with their unique style of melodic hate grind.UPCOMING SHOWS....................................................... ..............
