Haemorrhage is a Spanish goregrind band from Madrid.
History The band formed in 1990 as the trio Devourment, with singer-bassist Jose, guitarist Luisma, and drummer Emilio. Emilio left the band in the summer of 1991. The group reformed as a duo, with Luisma playing guitar, Jose moving to drums, and both singing. They released their first demo as Haemorrhage, Grotesque Embryopathology. Near the end of 1993, singer Lugubrious and bassist Ramon joined the band. Between 1994 and 1995, Haemorrhage recorded a seven-song promo tape and sent it to Morbid Records, resulting in a two-album contract. They enlisted guitarist Ana and recorded their first release, Emetic Cult. Jose left in the following year due to personal issues and Rojas replaced him. After five studio albums on Morbid Records, the band signed to Relapse Records and released the albums Hospital Carnage and We are the Gore.
Influences and live shows
Haemorrhage are, like many goregrind bands, heavily influenced by Carcass, yet still have an identity all their own.
Live shows typically feature band members sporting surgeon's outfits and vocalist Lugubrious covered in blood, which is common in the goregrind scene. Artwork is almost exclusively done by guitarist Luisma.
