Bandinfo:

In early 1998 Mental Amputation, a new underground death metal act was brought to life. After initial line-up difficulties and the temporary lack of a bass player the following line-up was established in February 2005: Fabian Guschlbauer (Guitar), Sascha Omay (Guitar), Kay Schwarze (Drums), Joachim Strehle (Vocals) and recently Michael Schuster (Bass).
The stylistic trademarks of Mental Amputation root in the genre of death and thrash which reigned the early 90's. The combination of all sorts of death and thrash leads to the brutality and aggressiveness of every single song, dominated by velocity as much as deep grunts. Additionally, systematic introduced melodic riffs and clean-parts are inserted in the songs, composing the perfect counterpart to their coarse brutality, emphasizing their atmosphere and power. Because of above mentioned reasons one could possibly grant their sound a certain degree of independence.

In the end of January 2001 Mental Amputation recorded their demo debut "Mass Crisis" at "Brickhouse Studio". Due to predominantly positive reviews Mental Amputation decided to involve actively in the underground scene by doing numerous, often self-directed concerts and festivals. This way Mental Amputation played on stage with bands such as Vader, Groinchurn, Fleshcrawl, Total Fucking Destruction, Katatonia, Incantation, Grave, The Forsaken, Disinter, Tankard, Belphegor, Avulsed, Sodom, Six feet under, Sanatorium and many more. Besides successful gigs at festivals such as Mountains of Death 02, Soul Grinding Festival 03, Summer Breeze 04 and Fuck the Commerce 06 were played.
Mental Amputation just finished the recordings of their long-player "Utter Subordination" at "Sound-Art Studios" and now are in search of a fitting label to publish their album and to support the band in their efforts and progression. On the new record the songs are way more intense, the guitars increasingly focus on melodic leads and intricate and technical solos. Furthermore the drumming gained significantly in speed and intensity and the vocals increased in variability and raw brutality.
Because variety plays an important role once again different influences of other metal genres were adopted.
Mental Amputation stand for uncompromising, yet melodic Death Metal ! Death Metal !
