Defleshuary was formed in the summer of 2004 as a one man project by Rick Shirk. He was bored and started it as a small project. He got to work very quickly to writing songs that united both death metal and horror. Influenced by such bands as Mortician, Exhumed, old Carcass, Frightmare, Fuck...I'm Dead, Putrid Pile, and countless others he had 7 songs written.. The songs were ready to be recorded for the first demo which is entitled "Feasting On Torso."

Getting pretty good feedback for the demo and having been offered a few shows, Rick sought out to form an entire band so Defleshuary could play out. Tim Ashley took over on drums and Kerm (who played guitar in projects with Rick before) took over on 2nd guitar. (The band went without a bassist for some time.) This lineup played a bunch of shows and got their name out even more. In December 2005 the 2nd demo "You Could Wake Up Dead Tomorrow" was recorded. Due to money constraints it was done with programmed drums like the first demo and done in a home "studio."

During the spring of 2006 the band entered Century Studios to record 6 songs for the demo ep "Mutilated And Skinned Alive." It's their best effort to date as well as the first release with live drums. Shortly after recording Tim Ashley quit the band. While willing to continue as just 2 guys with a drum machine, they didn't have to stay a that way for long. David Bazow was offered the spot and gladly took over the throne to play drums.

Not too long after this Chris of Homicide Watch Records contacted the band informing them he was starting up said label and would love to put out the ep as his first release. Defleshuary happily agreed. Shortly after this the band finally found a bassist to come on board, John Linger. The 4 went to work writing new music. In December of 2006 the band re-entered Century Studios, with Carson at the helm again. They recorded the first 2 songs they wrote as this lineup. These songs were to be used as bonus tracks for the release of the ep. They decided to name the 8 song album Zombie Plague, Rampant Horror. It sees the light of day Feb. 18, 2007. The band hopes to continue progressing and writing fun and enjoyable death metal while playing as many shows as possible.
