History Gorelust was formed in September of 1991 in the midst of a death metal
craze sweeping French Canada. The Rimouski-based quintet, featuring
Robert Dionne on vocals, released a five-song demo in the winter of
1993. This established the band's brutal, albeit Suffocation-inspired,
sound. Dionne was replaced by incoming singer Jonathan D'Astous. Many
live shows, with among others Gorguts and Cryptopsy, followed.
Two new songs were recorded in late 1994 which were also utilized for a
split-cassette with Morkeum issued by Montreal's New World Symphony
Records. D'Astous left the band.
The quintet signed with New World Symphony and entered Studio Victor
with producer Pierre Remillard to record a full-length album. The
recording featured backing vocals by Luc Lemay and Steve Hurdle of
Gorguts. Following the recording Olivier was replaced by Tommy
Beaulieu.
The band supported bands like Suffocation, Malevolent Creation, etc.
and
played with local acts like Cryptopsy and Obscene Crisis.
The album further saw a European release by Cryptic Soul Production
which would go on to allegedly rip off the band. This version featured
different art work and track listing.
