About

EXMORTIS was formed in mid 1987 by guitarist/vocalist Brian Werking who recruited ex-bassist Chris Wiser. A few months later drummer Aantar Lee Coates and guitarist Ted Hartz joined the band. Shortly after, Ted Hartz was released due to personal reasons. After a few short months of continuous rehearsing, Exmortis tried out vocalist Mike Simons. He seemed to fit the style that Exmortis was looking for so they kept Mike in the band. He brought kind of a Kreator style vocal presence to the band which Exmortis seemed to like. In July of 1988, Exmortis entered the studio to record their “Descent Into Chaos” demo which was only 3 tracks but what a demo it was. The track list was Lords Of Abomination, Exmortis and Pathogenic Silence. Releasing the demo was just beginning. Little did they know that they were about to explode into something they never thought possible. Once the demo had reached a few hands in the underground, people began to talk and trade the tape with each other. At the time they had no idea the magnitude of the tape trading phenomena was so large-scale. Within a few months Brian was receiving mail from all over the globe asking for material to review in fanzines. He made it his ongoing task to send free tapes and band information to all fanzines asking. There were even fanzines dedicated to horror movie reviews that wanted to review and/or feature the band on its pages. During this time Exmortis began playing live shows and increasing the awareness of this bands pure power and aggression to the public. They played shows mainly in the Maryland and Washington D.C. area but it was strange for them since they had received so much attention internationally and not enough local to their own area.
