Vomitory was formed in 1989 by guitarist Urban Gustafsson during the birth of the globally well-known Brutal Swedish Death Metal scene. Ever since, they have constantly and brutally delivered straightforward grinding Death Metal. While being a part of the phenomenon that was the Swedish Death Metal scene, the early and most important influences were spelled Sodom, Slayer, Entombed, Bolt Thrower, Napalm Death, Grave and Carcass. During the first years, Vomitory spread their name in the worldwide underground Death Metal scene by releasing a few demo tapes and a vinyl 7" single.
When the Death Metal scene was getting saturated and began to stagnate in the mid 90's, a lot of the "brutal" bands disbanded or changed their style drastically to something commercially more marketable. Vomitory refused to go in that direction, but released their debut full-length album instead, "Raped In Their Own Blood", in November 1996 (Fadeless Records). It was greeted with great respect within the underground scene and gained a lot of fans, which of many to this day have stayed loyal to Vomitory. Their second album, "Redemption" (1999, Fadeless Records), showed a pretty big musical progress from the debut. The increase of brutality and intensity in their music was obvious. Now, they were well on their way to find their own formula. After two albums and one 10" mini-LP on Fadeless Records and some smaller European tours, Vomitory teamed up with well- renowned Metal Blade Records. Now the band had been reduced from five to four members - bass player Erik Rundqvist took over the vocal duties as well from then on. A successful European tour as support for Cannibal Corpse and the No Mercy Festival in 2000, passed and in November the same year Vomitory released their third album - their first for Metal Blade - "Revelation Nausea". It was with this album Vomitory cemented their style and sound of which they have become known for.
