History & Biography
Amputated is a Bristol, England-based death metal band that was founded in 2002, split up in 2015 and predictably reformed (in 2022). Singer Mark had used the name for a while himself, but now shared it with the new formation. The early line-up was Morbid Mark (vocals), Daryl BC and Simon (guitars for a very short period), Sicky Martin (bass who was replaced by Andi Morris who would go on to join Desecration later) and Garry (drums). The singer had advertised to find like-minded musicians.

The band adopted a horror theme replete with mutilation, debauchery and general admiration and appreciation for women and girls. The year 2003 brought a Promo release and a Up To Our Nuts In Guts demo. The act opened for Necrophagia and Exmortem. The band’s music formed the basis for an Amputated/Leptotrichia (Belgium) split release in 2004. This was released by Identified By Dental or IBD, which was a fly by night concern even more temporary than a meaningful thought on the mind of a Conservative voter. The band opened for Desecration and recruited Ollie Jones (Extreme Noise Terror) from them. The group toured with Disgorge (Mexico), Sanatorium and Gorerotted as well. The act was also on stage at Obscene Extreme 2004. Live Amputation! was a live DVD taken from London Deathfest. A short tour with Deranged and Skinned followed. Sevared signed the band and out came semen and a full-length album.

Amputated returned to Obscene Extreme in 2010. The band appeared at UK Deathfest 2010 with Immolation, Negură Bunget, Brujeria, Abgott and others. This was neither a ‘fest’ nor a festival, but just a concert with several bands. This was immortalised on the 2012 independent DVD, Witness The Shitness - A Decade Of Dickatry. It also contained the band’s appearance on BBC’s Singing With The Enemy where the band wrote a song with all-girl pop band Fallen Angelz from London. Live At Mountains Of Death 2011 was a live demo recorded in Switzerland and released in 2013. In the meantime, the group underwent three defections in 2012. Singer Mark Pearce left as he was not into the music and did not want to tour. Ollie Jones was too busy. Bassist Andy Byles also left. They would all be back in 2022. The band also opened Damnation Festival 2014 with Cannibal Corpse, Saint Virus, Bolt Thrower and others headlining. The unit disbanded in late 2015 and stereotypically reappeared. Andy Byles became the guitarist in 2022 and Adam Westlake (My Silent Wake) joined on bass. The act played at Deathfeast Open Air in Germany in 2023. There was a tour with Kraanium and a stop at the Eradication Festival in 2023.
