Country of origin:\nUnited States\nLocation:\nNew York City, New York\nStatus:\nActive\nActive since:\n1995\nGenre:\nDeath Metal\nLyrical themes:\nDeath, Destruction, Horror\nCurrent label:\nComatose Music\nSplit-up in 2000, reformed in 2004 and split-up again in 2007.\nHometown: Floral Park, NY\nGenres: Metal \u002F Death Metal \u002F Grind\nMembers: Michael Centrone, Anthony Cossu, Paul Tavora, Rich Nagasawa, George Torres\nBeing quoted as “one of the most underrated bands in death metal history” (Dom \nLawson, Metal Hammer UK, March 2011), Dehumanized has undoubtedly established a \ndominant, admirable position within the vast death metal spectrum. One cannot \nchronicle the relevance and allure of this extreme music genre without mentioning these \nNYC-born heavyweights of slam. Their indigenously unique method of combining \nbreakneck speed and devastating groove has influenced countless numbers of \nsuccessful death metal acts throughout the years. \nGeorge Torres (drums), Rich Nagasawa (guitar), and Mike Palacios (guitar) \nformed Dehumanized in the Fall of 1995. Working at a feverish pace, this trio entered \nthe studio to record an EP titled, “Terminal Punishment”, after only 2 months of the \nbandʼs inception. After providing the vocal tracks for this recording, Torres and \nNagasawa decided to recruit a lead vocalist and welcomed Mike Zuzio. Shortly after \n“Terminal Punishment” was released, an immense following started to grow and this \nfresh act was proving their worthiness, supporting national headliners including \nCannibal Corpse, Immolation, Brutal Truth, and Six Feet Under. During the process of \nrapidly building a rabid fan base, Dave Zatuchney replaced Palacios on guitar, Jerry \nBarco took over vocal duties for Zuzio, and Mike Chan filled the vacant bass player \nposition. \nIn late 1997, after Tom Toscano relieved Zatuchney on guitar, Dehumanized \nventured to Raw Recording Studios to produce one of the most historic and legendary \ndeath metal albums of all time. “Prophecies Foretold” was let loose on the public via \nPathos Productions in 1998 and perched Dehumanized alongside the elite titans of the\nindustry. It also cemented George Torresʼs spot amongst iconic extreme drummers and \nprojected Rich Nagasawa into the upper echelon of premiere shredders. But what \nmade this full-length so remarkable was the intangible chemistry between Torres and \nNagasawa that subtly made its presence known within each song. Catchy hooks and \nriffs were scattered throughout this masterpiece, not common in such a style of music, \nand were mainly represented through tracks like “Fade Into Obscurity”, “Infinite Despair”\nand the title track, “Prophecies Foretold”. \nThe fallout from this ferocious LPʼs release resulted in the band setting \nattendance records at clubs where theyʼd perform as well as constant exposure through \nradio and worldwide distribution. One evening while co-hosting a radio program for 89.5 \nWSOU, Dehumanized justified their acquired status by receiving death threats as a \nbacklash for their on-air opinions toward black metal. \nThe word was apparently out. With a revamped roster that listed newcomer \nSean Morelli on bass, these NYC upstarts found themselves being featured on major \nfestivals across the USA; most notably the Milwaukee Metalfest, Texas Grindfest, Ohio \nDeathfest, and New Jersey Metalfest. The band proudly shared the stage with highly \ntouted acts Suffocation, Morbid Angel, Deicide, Obituary, Cryptopsy, Vader, Broken \nHope, Monstrosity, and Nile, to name a few.Dehumanized was able to ride the \nmonstrous wave birthed from “Prophecies Foretold”, replacing Barco on vocals with \nJosh Pratt in the process, until the new millennium arrived. A temporary split was in \norder. During this hiatus, Torres became drummer for Skinless and later on, Mortician. \nHowever, during Dehumanizedʼs absence, the buzz surrounding the band had not \nwaned. \nIn 2004, Torres and Nagasawa reunited; giving their hardcore fans back the \nchance to bear witness to their unparalleled brand of brutal death metal. Armed with \nvocalist John Collett, guitarist Paul Tavora, and bassist Mike Hussey, Dehumanized had \nreturned with a vengeance. The bandʼs first live performance in four years was at the \nʼ04 Maryland Deathfest. A 2-song EP comprised of newly written anthems, “Man vs \nMan” & “His Burden”, gave fans a taste of what was to come. They seemed to pick up \nright where they had prematurely left off. Gigs with more esteemed acts (Devourment, \nSkinless, All Shall Perish, Internal Bleeding, Malignancy) soon followed. This solid \nlineup reinvigorated fans of old and seduced unfamiliar listeners from venue to venue. \nBut by the time 2007 rolled around, the band decided to shut down operations once \nagain. Not surprisingly, their loyal followers did not write them off completely. \nHelping to spark yet another return to power, a long time cohort band brought \nNYCʼs hyper blasters back into the forefront in 2011. Marylandʼs-own Dying Fetus \nreleased an EP of cover songs titled, “History Repeats...”, and slotted their rendition of \n“Fade Into Obscurity” by Dehumanized as the opening salvo. This action, and the \nresponse it received, helped to persuade Torres and Nagasawa to sound the horns of \nwar one more time. When asked to play a reunion show in Long Island, NY alongside \nanother fellow reunited band, Internal Bleeding, the return became official. \nPaul Tavora was back on the squad. Joining him were local scene veterans \nMichael Centrone on vocals, and Anthony Cossu on bass. This current version of \nDehumanized has grasped the reigns stronger than ever and has already set in motion\na followup to the timeless classic, “Prophecies Foretold”. Their first album in nearly \nfifteen years, “Controlled Elite”, was recorded at Full Force Studio in May 2012, will be \nreleased on Comatose Music worldwide on November 27th 2012, and will seat \nDehumanized back on their rightful throne as masters of the art of slam\u002Fdeath metal. \nSince word spread of the return, appearances at the Goregrowlers Ball, Central Illinois \nMetalfest, and New Jersey Deathfest materialized. Dehumanized also made their first \nappearance in Europe in September 2012, crushing it at the NRW Deathfest in \nGermany. The fact cannot be denied that this NYC powerhouse is taking no prisoners \nin their quest to ultimately liberate and motivate the dehumanized.
