Formed in Plymouth in 2000, Schiztome have spent the last five years
perfecting their own brutal blend of metal combining elements of Thrash,
Death Metal, the groove and dynamics of Hardcore and a good sense of song
writing, helping lead the way forward for the future of British heavy music.
The band released a self titled four track demo in 2000 quickly gaining them a
large local fan base and followed up with the acclaimed 'Puritanically
Unreconstructed' in the summer of 2003. Undergoing the obligatory line up
changes over the years, Schiztome settled on a solid line up featuring founding
members Craig Baker (Vocals), Rich Parker (Drums), and Leigh Jones (Guitars)
along with Jim Willumsen (Bass) and Geoff Holmes (Guitars).
The band have found growing popularity around the south west through
intense gigging and opening for the likes of Stampin' Ground, Charger, Breed
77, Brutal Deluxe, Viking Skull, and Defenestration as well as headlining their
own high-octane live shows that are known to grab the audience by the
throat and pound them into submission from start to finish.
In summer 2004 they signed with The JMG Agency (part of Copro Productions)
who handle Bookings, Press and Promotion for the band. This led to them
being offered a worldwide distribution deal on the Casket Music imprint (also
part of Copro Productions) for their debut album 'The Art Of Dying' which
showcases Schiztome's ability to create a challenging, intense modern sound
that should see them win over many new fans.
