About Cadever Mutilator :

The band is founded in 2003 by Paride Mercurio (vocals) and evolves, with the entry of Rosario Piazza (guitar) and Marcello Triolo (bass), as a project inspired by the American brutal death metal style. In 2006 the band starts recording their first album near the “21nesimo livello” and the “Raven Studios” in Palermo. The work is published in 2007 with the title of “Carnasyum”. In the same year Tony Rettino (guitar) and Giorgio Piparo (drums) complete the line-up and the band starts working on the next project “Nechronicles” (originally designed as a full-length album).
