Previously known as BUTCHERY, they earned themselves a strong and loyal following in the NYDM scene during 1998-1999.
Starting out in the early 90's, DOUG (guitar) and SAM (guitar/original vocalist) played in various death metal bands around Long Island in search of other dedicated and reliable musicians.  They met ERIC in 1996 while playing with SANGUINARY CARNAGE.  With SAM on vocals/ guitar, DOUG on guitar and ERIC switching from guitar to bass.  A solid brutal trio was born.  One night in 1997, DOUG brought an old friend to rehearsal.  Her name was APRIL.  After taking the microphone and screaming like an ungodly possessed demon, the band new they had a new vocalist and BUTCHERY was born. During 1998-1999, the band played many shows in the NYC area with such acts as DEICIDE, IMMOLATION, KRISUN, INTERNAL BLEEDING, DEHUMANIZED, NILE, INCANTATION, DISFUGURED, ENTORTUREMENT, GORGUTS, SCRAPE, ANGEL CORPSE and VADER.  Their 1998 one-song promo tape, "BLACKEST BLOOD" of which over 1500 copies were distributed worldwide, earned them a strong following, awesome zine reviews, college radio support and label interest.  A strong performance at the 1999 March Metal Meltdown in Asbury

Park increased the demand for the obvious next step:  a full-length CD.During the summer of 1999, work on the full length began.  With a Tascam 8 track cassette recorder and a slew of borrowed cheap mikes, their 10 by 30 storage facility was converted to a temporary recording studio.  During the pre-production, unfortunately, continuing rifts between the drummer and the rest of the band resulted in a parting of ways.  The remaining four members of "BUTCHERY" changed the name back to the original name, "EXUVIATE" and salvaged what was left of the recordings to bring you this crushing disc...EXUVIATE spent the fall of 1999 moving into a new studio, writing new material and finishing up the CD project when GABE MADSEN answered an ad placed at a local record store.  They immediately clicked, and within 2 months had four new songs written and played shows with MACABRE and INTERNAL BLEEDING in NYC.  Currently, July 2000 after the Milwaukee Metalfest, EXUVIATE returned to New York to write the rest of the material for their second CD.  After the release of their debut, a massive promotional campaign followed from various fanzines, .  webzines and

college radio play.  As its result, by the summer of 2000, six new songs were already written for the second CDTheir first order of discs were already depleted through mail order sales and a second order was made.  It is around this time that April Taylor aka EvilA left the band to pursue other musical endeavors.  They quickly returned to their original singer, Sam Lara, with Doug Randazzo joining in as backup.  At this time, the band is in pre production for the next CD in a new studio, which is expected to be released in the winter of 2001.  The band expects to play many shows in the northeast in support of this CD as well as the major metalfests around the country.
