Bio & History
|
Lowbrow is a mid paced death metal band from Florida
formed in 1998. The current lineup is Rich Hornberger … vocals, Allen
West (Six Feet Under & Obiturary) … guitar, Ben Meyer (Nasty Savage,
Acheron and Gardy-Loo!) … guitar, Curt Beeson (Fester and Nasty Savage)
… (drummer) and Richard Bateman (Agent Steel, Nasty Savage and Gardy-Loo!)
… bass. Lowbrow played several shows in the Tampa area and was the opening
act for Slayer and Fear Factory. After signing with Crook’d Records
in Feb. 1999, Lowbrow entered Morrisound studios to record “Victims
at Play”. Lowbrow enlisted the help of Donald Tardy (Obituary drummer
and now the drummer for Andrew W K) as producer & Mark Prator as the
engineer, who helped cultivate a brutal sound for the band. The CD was
completed on April 20, 1999 … the same day of the Columbine school shooting.
It was distributed through Pavement in the USA. Finally in 2000 “Victims
At Play” was released in Europe on vinyl and CD by Hammerheart Records
featuring new Cover Art by Joey Maloney. “Victims at Play” has sold
over 12,000 copies worldwide. May of 2001 sent Lowbrow back to Morrisound
to record the bands second release titled “Sex, Violence, Death.” This
CD makes you just want to get up and mosh your head off with heavy rhythms
and just an overall brutal sound! The second album for this Florida
band is a caustic and cogent blend of thrash, grind and death that doesn't
forget the low guttural groove quotient that makes the cream of this
genre crushingly heavy. “Death metal is certainly on the menu”. Lowbrow
