Formed in 1997, Chicago's CARDIAC ARREST continues to assault the death metal underground with their horror-inspired death metal. Never catering to the trends, CARDIAC ARREST have remained a force to be reckoned with and show no signs of compromise. With numerous releases, festival appearances, tours in the US, Canada, and Europe, and respect of peers and fans alike, CARDIAC ARREST proudly carries the flag of true DEATH METAL. Originally released in 2008 on CD, Cadaverous Presence was a raw, rude, and disgusting display of the band's deadly powers. While the year might've been 2008, Cadaverous Presence could totally have come from 1988, so authentic and assaulting was their alternately blasting/doomy attack. Somewhere between early Autopsy, Impetigo, Master, and of course Repulsion lay CARDIAC ARREST - and they've never once sold out since then to trendiness. Cadaverous Presence is the perfect snapshot of their unyielding, uncompromising sound, and one whose wild 'n' wonderful ways continue to age like fine (blood)wine.
