The band was formed in '87, rising out from the sinful ashes of PERFIDIOUS and they were the older Singaporean black / death metal band in the league of NUCTEMERON, DREAD, CRUCIFUCKTOR, CEMETRY and THARTARUS...read more - Expand [+]

In '89, they released the most cult and groundbreaking work in local death metal scene, namely "Rumpus Of The Undead" demo, which became a vital piece of black / death metal history in the underground! Their lineup accordingly was "Crucifer" ( vocals ), "Exorcist" ( guitars ), "Corpse Grinder" ( bass ) and "Tomb Crusher" ( drums ). Note that they were also the first Singaporean band to use pseudonyms.

The demo material impressed the French Virulence Records so much that they were offered a deal to record an LP, but out of a complication to travel that far, the evil demigods turned down that offer. However, the demo was subsequently reissued on a split vinyl with the Japanese black / death metal gods NECROPHILE's collection of tracks from '87 to '90 and that side was titled "Deride The Remedied". It was put out by Decapitated Records / Wipe Out Records in '90, Panos' previous label before Unisound Records.

This split release is one of the most valuable and sentimental treasure in my collection and their raging black metal tracks like "Diabolic Epitaph", "Repudiated Faith", etc were simply timeless with the totally underground atmosphere of inferno, the guitars are played in blitzkrieg of screaming vengeance, the vocals are gruff diabolic command of evil and the drums are insane battery. However, upon the release of this legendary split vinyl, the band deliberately went into a hiatus, with many of the local metalheads believing that the band had R.I.P. However, it was simply their attempt to break away from a new breed of black / death metal bands that striked the scene in the second waves, which simply had little regards or knowledge of pioneers like ABHORER.

But during that period of time, these real life satanic gangster trashes began to work on towards establishing their own identity and in '93, shocked the underground with the release of "Upheaval Of Blasphemy" 7" EP on Shivadarshana Records, constituting two tracks of desecrating black / death metal with a powerful crushing productions superior to the demo and as well as much tighter musical proficiency.

In '96, they released their debut full length album on digipack CD on the same label, titled "Zygotical Sabbatory Anabapt" where they delivered their most modernized approach to black / death metal with very technical riffings and a thoroughly intense "warring" style ( sounds quite similar to BELIAL's debut "Wisdom Of Darkness" though ) that together with bands like SARCOFAGO and BLASPHEMY influenced much of today's "war metal" bands.

These Bedok SARCOFAGO gangsters officially R.I.P. after this release but they lived in eternal notoriety as THE Singaporean black / death metal gods!
