Mutilation Barbecue

Mutilation Barbecue from Cleveland, OH

MUTILATION BARBECUE was spawned in 2019 from the ashes of death-thrash rippers Subtype Zero – the band who also gave birth to fellow Clevelanders and Maggot Stomp alumni 200 Stab Wounds – the initial lineup uniting bassist Dylan Andras, vocalist Chris Fredrick, drummer Harrison Good, and guitarists Nick Mcgroder and Peter Blanchet. Their catchy, creative twists on groove-thick death metal in the slamming ways of long-running progenitors Dying Fetus, Pyrexia, Skinless, and Internal Bleeding places them alongside contemporary peers like Maul, Sanguisugabogg, Snuffed On Sight, and 200 Stab Wounds, and upon release of their eponymous EP in 2021, the band stormed onto the local scene with devastating riffs, horrific lyrics, and an explosive live show.

2022 landed the band under the Maggot Stomp umbrella for the release of their Abortion Ambulance EP followed by extensive local shows opening for everyone from Frozen Soul to Sanguisugabogg to tours with Gates To Hell and Hanging Fortress and an appearance at Full Terror Assault Open Air Festival. With a year of shows under their belt, MUTILATION BARBECUE entered the studio in the Summer of 2023 to work on their debut LP. Several lineup changes saw Dylan Andras switch from bass to replace both guitarists and new bassist Larry Johnson joining the band, which is now a quartet.
