ord Gore was formed in 1998 as a side project of Wraithen; a black metal band SCSI, Gurge, and Nekro were in. Hordak and Gurge came up with the idea of starting an old school death metal band that was influenced by the classic death metal bands with a doomy touch, like Autopsy and Impetigo. The line up of the band at this point was:

* Gurge - Guitar
* Hordak - Guitar
* Nekro - Vocals
* SCSI - Bass
* Redrum - Drums

This is the line up that recorded the first demo, Dark Lords Of The Cyst in 1999. We re-recorded all the songs on this demo a few months later when a label in Japan showed interest in releasing a professional casette demo. At the time, Hordak's other bands (Thy Infernal and Engorged) were demanding a lot of his time and energy. He left the band on good terms right after the demo was recorded. SCSI stepped up to fill in as the guitarist and we had a few friends of the band that helped out on bass when we would play shows.

We took a short break after the demo was recorded to focus on Wraithen as we had just signed a deal to release 3 records with a metal label. After a 9 month break, Razorback Records had signed Lord Gore and we resumed writing. We were invited to participate in the Wizards Of Gore Impetigo tribute and chose to record Breakfast At The Manchester Morgue at a small studio in Portland Oregon.

Lord Gore and Redrum parted ways approximately 1 month before recording our debut CD for Razorback. We simply had different priorities at this point and didn't feel this line up would work out for the long run. At Hordak's recommendation, we asked Colon Bowel to join the band. He really stepped up and learned all the songs in an incredibly short time. The line up of the band when we recorded The Autophagous Orgy was:

* Gurge - Vocals/Guitar/Bass
* SCSI - Guitar/Bass
* Nekro - Vocals
* Colon Bowel - Drums

The Autophagous Orgy was recorded in the basement and living room of Gurge and SCSI's house over 8 months from 2001-2002. We used a digital 16 track, a Mackie mixer and a variety of Shure and AKG microphones. Maniac Killer joined during this time and this would free Gurge up to do focus all his energy on doing vocals full time.

We parted ways with Nekro right after the CD was released in April of 2002 due to personal differences. A few months later, Jesus H Dump joined the band as full time bassist. We played a few shows in the northwest and began writing new material before recording Decomposed for a Repulsion tribute that to this day hasn't been released.

We played a string of dates on the west coast in the spring of 2004 including the AZ Deathfest with this line up:

* Gurge - Vocals
* SCSI - Guitars
* Maniac Killer - Guitars
* JHD - Bass
* Colon Bowel - Drums

After these west coast dates, JHD had decided to leave the band to concentrate on his other band, Bung.

We began recording 19 songs for the follow up record in June of 2004. We used totally different equipment for the 2nd record. The drums were recorded in 3 days at our jam space by Rich Franklin with a portable studio. The rest of the music was recorded digitally with a PC. We used PODs instead of amps to record all of the guitars. The record was finished 6 months later in Novemeber and released Christmas Eve in December of 2004.

The current line up is:

* Gurge - Vocals
* SCSI - Guitars
* Maniac Killer - Guitars
* Colon Bowel - Drums
