Formed in the beginning of 1998 from the ashes of two another metal bands SYANUR (Thrash Metal) with Dur, Sims, Krynn and FROST DOMAIN (Atmospheric Dark) with Dams, GORESTENCH decide to play a kind of Brutal and basic Death Metal without compromise
One month later, GORESTENCH have on track 'Braincrushing', 3 tracks of SYANUR and an OBITUARY's cover 'Slowly we Rot'. They begin to play live in front of a real Death Metal scene.
At the end of june 1998, the drummer (Krynn) left the band. The 3 others decide to find another one to continue. In August 1998, they find a new drummer, an ex ANGEL POWDER (Thrash Metal) : Pat.
