LIVIDITY
BANDINFO:
Lividity began as a 1 man project in 1993 with Dave, victimizing
the
underground with his first 3 song promo '94. The ideas were
dark and dismal, yet heavy and torturous!! As you will hear
influences taken from such great bands as Hypocrisy, Bloodfeast,
Cannibal Corpse, Obituary, Paralysis, Dismember, Suffocation,
etc... molded into what will become Lividity!! Tommy Davis
joined in on drums and vocals, adding depth to the mix and
recording a rehearsal demo titled, "Ritual Of Mortal
Impalement" '95 with 9 songs like Graveyard Delicacy,
The Process Of Disembowelment, Food, etc.. 6 of these tunes
were released on the split cassette from Illinois' murder
junkies, Morgue Fetus in '95!! After the split of Illinois'
death squad, Desecration, we joined forces with Matt (guitar
/ backing vocals) and Aaron (bass / vocals) Summer of '95!
Went to Private Studios (IL) and recorded the 4 song demo,
"Rejoice In Morbidity" '96 through Immortal Records
(Pol.)! Containing the classic cuts of Orifice Reconstruction,
Fetal Scabs, Tampered Flesh, and Rectal Wench.... Aaron had
left the band and we hired Mike Smith on bass from thrashers
Avatar (IL), and Matt moved to vocals!! We went to Sinewave
Studios (IL) and recorded the 11 song CD, "Fetish For
The Sick" '97 through Ablated Records (OH)! This sparked
off such twisted anthems as Pussy Lover, Lacerations Of An
Unclean Twat, and My Cock It Bleeds as well as rerecorded
versions of
"R.O.M.I. " demo songs!! Tommy had left the band
and we hired Nick Null, Nov. '97.... While we were writing
music, we released a Live CD titled "Show Us Your Tits"
'99 through United Guttural Records (IL) with bonus "R.I.M."
demo at the end plus on cassette format through D.I.Y. label
Maniacal Brutality Prod. in Latvia (Europe) titled, "Anal
Action Live" '99!! We went back to Private Studios (IL)
and recorded a 9 song CD titled "The Age Of Clitoral
Decay" '00 through United Guttural Records again! Also
was licensed to Erebos Productions (Slk) on CD, cassette,
and t-shirts in September 2000... licensed to Extreme Souls
Productions (Indonesia) on cassette May 2001... bought / licensed
with Apidocere Records (Fra) August 2001.... Lividity used
3 of the songs to complete the split 7" with German gore
whores, Profanity.. released through Cudgel Agency (Ger) February
2000!!!
June 1999, the Europe nation welcomed Lividity as we set off
to play 3
countries with fellow demons, Fleshless (Cz) and Sanatorium
(Slk) w/ special supports Godless Truth (Cz), Perversist (Cz),
Intervalle Bizzare (Cz), Appaling Spawn (Cz), Amorph Pneuma
(Ger), Demented Retarded (Cz), 4 Seats 4 Invalides (Cz), Monolith
(A), Grind 6.4 (Cz) amongst others!! We trudged through Germany,
Czech Republic and Slovakia....
James Whitehurst started slamming the skins
for us April 2001 and is a machine and helped solidify this
unit... We entered Mercenary Digital Studio (IL) in March
2002 to create a landmark release! "...'Til Only The
Sick Remain" hit the streets August 2002 through Morbid
Records (Ger)!! Contains such songs as Coated With My Semen,
Snack Size Tits, T.L.C. (Tight 'Lil Cunt), The Second Cumming,
Fetal Scabs, Unrelenting Homicidal Obsession, A Woman’s
Place Is On My Face, Conception Through Ingestion, and more!!
Lividity has signed a 2 album deal with German label, Morbid
Records!! We have been grateful for the support Carsten and
the rest of the Morbid crew has given the Lividity camp and
appreciate their hard work ethic and longevity of their company!!
Morbid Rec. has been very supportive to Lividity for the past
few years and makes this deal a special one!!
Lividity set out to do the unthinkable in March 2003, do a
full fledged 4 week headlining tour through Europe!! Was a
smash hit while on the road with metal comrades Master (Us),
Mastic Scum(A), and Damnable(Pol)! Trudged through such countries
as Germany, Holland, France, Austria, Slovakia, Czech Republic,
and Belgium! This was a positive mind-set for the band due
to there was a world war going on and we needed music and
friends to keep our spirits up!! Thanks to Bruchstein Records
and Morbid Records for the great adventure!
Aaron has departed ways again and we wish him the best, so
we have hired Chris Campbell on bass. We are working hard
to create some crushing tunes that will be more mature in
structure yet unrelentless brutality in true Lividity fasion!!
Some song titles are Raped For Rent, Deviant Pleasures, An
Exhibition In Carnage, Bound In Skin, No Time For Lube, and
title track.. Used, Abused And Left For Dead!! Hope to have
this monu"metal" experience out by late 2005!!
The re-issue of 1997’s “Fetish For The Sick”
has been unleashed once again at the Central Illinois Metalfest
2004 in August, through Comatose Music (Usa) and contains
an additional 45 minutes of bonus live trax taken from the
European Tour 2003 while in Germany!! Relive the classick
that brought you Lacerations Of An Unclean Twat, Graveyard
Delicacy, Brains For Lubrication, Rectal Wench, My Cock It
Bleeds, and the anthem Pussy Lover!!
With the loss of James Whitehurst and the addition of Jordan
Varela (aka The Violator) on drums plus the latest transformation
of Matt Bishops’ departure and the hiring of Von Young
(Deaden). The next orgasmic onslaught, “Used, Abused
And Left For Dead” is under way again and there are
12 songs, goal is to have it out early Spring 2006 and continue
our quest for world domination!! A definite improvement all
around the board for the band… I think we will surprise
a few of you!! You will hear Jordan’s work on the other
killer acts he plays in, Lust Of Decay, Domination Through
Impurity, and Debodified!!!
Lineup:
Jordan Varela - drums
Dave Kibler - guitar / backing vocals
