CONTORTED was formed in Tampa, FL in 1997.After the last show and break-up of the band BRUTALITY at the infamous "Milwaukee Metal Festival" XI. Three of the members of BRUTALITY went on to forge a new band called CONTORTED.Reaching beyond the limits, CONTORTED performs extreme brutal death-metal, with influences from all types of music.In 2003, after attracting the attention of a Record Label from Poland (Still Dead Productions), CONTORTED signs a recording contract to release their debut 12-Song CD/LP which will be entitled: " Of Worldly Sins". In the beginning, the band went through several member additions/changes along the way, enlisting the help of friends/musicians like: Bryan Hipp(Brutality,Cradle of Filth,Diabolic),Steve Bailey(Execration),Jamie Primm(Burning Inside), Robin Mazen (Demonomacy,Acrimonium), and Dave Sawyer(Eulogy). Until 2003,when they arrived at the most stable and proffessional line-up to date.CONTORTED'S members are: Ed Webb-Bass,Vocals/ Pete Sykes-Guitars,Vocals/ Demian Heftel-Guitars and James Coker- Drums.
