Below is an old Exhumed bio that references numerous old thrash/early death metal songs. I found about 119 different songs by 40 different bands. I was that bored at work yesterday.
How many can you find? Winner gets to be a bigger metal nerd than me.

EXHUMED formed in the witching hour of August 1991 with the goal of total death. The iron gang consisted of Matt Harvey on dynamic power plant guitars and screaming mic torture, Col Jones on atomic drum invasion, Derrel Houdashelt on chainsaw guitar dives, Jake Giardina on vokills, and Ben Marrs on blower bass. After forming in the sign of evil, the cadaverous quintet recorded a demo of total destruction to give ripping headaches to any dying victims. A welcome to hell was posted with January, 1992?s Dissecting the Caseated Omentum possessed six morbid tales that broke the death-like silence in the underground. The messiahs returned to the eve with the 7" EP Excreting Innards, recorded in April of 1992 for Afterworld Records. It featured six new visions of mortality that were more brutal than a slaughter in a grave.

Within this season of the dead, EXHUMED hit the lights on stage with such restless dead as AUTOPSY, ENTOMBED, CANNIBAL CORPSE, MORBID ANGEL, SADUS, GORGUTS, PHOBIA, MINDROT, MORGION, and MASTER. After recording the third of the storms,

Goregasm, which ended up being buried alive, Ben had to face fate and make his exodus from the band. The blasphemers continued under the sign of the black mark without him, as Jake took up the duties of bulldozer bass and death breath with a die hard mentality. After recording Grotesque Putrefied Brains in April of 1993, the goretet appeared live undead with the demons of DISMEMBER, SUFFOCATION, and VADER. EXHUMED cursed the gods when Jake went schizo and left the band to pursue a life without sense. It was a revelation of doom as he was replaced by "Nasty" Mark Smith on throat and insults as well as Matt--doubling as major rager on the four string mother fucker and burning metal axe--for the recording of the Cadaveric Splatter Platter demo in November of 1993. Mark had a confused mind so EXHUMED put an eternal ban on him.

The next two to step into the circle of the tyrants were Matt Widener on volcanic vibrations and Ross Sewage on necromantical screams. EXHUMED?s next slab of witching metal was a rip-ride of armaggedon entitled Horrific Expulsion of Gore. Recorded in November of 1994, Horrific... was made up of six new songs that were a triumph of death. Their previous releases couldn?t hold thirteen candles to this one which proved they were no longer mere pretenders to the throne. Morbid Metal Records picked up on EXHUMED?s brand of merciless death when they featured the unreleased cut Necro-Fornicator on the Deterioration of the Senses CD compilation, unleashed March, 1995. The warriors of ice continued their mortal way of live when they appeared at the seven churches with PUNGENT STENCH, BRUTAL TRUTH, ABSCESS, INCANTATION, KATAKLYSM, ACID BATH, and SPAZZ. A split live tape with the wizards of gore, HAEMMORHAGE, was put under the guillotine by Deleria Productions in the summer of 1995.

Too much visual aggression ended in Matt W.?s departure, so his slot was filled by Ross on exploder black and red bass and bestial disaster vocals. This new line up recorded an eleven song thrash attack in August, 1995, as a split CD with Ohio?s evil warriors, HEMDALE. This slab of high speed metal was a true American assault, and was lauded in the underground as a
fuck of death. The next exhibition bout of blind destruction was two fast & loud songs for the Blood & Alcohol split 7" from 625 Productions, recorded January, 1996, which paired the evil invaders with the tortured souls of PALE EXISTENCE. The outbreak of evil persisted with the thrash dance Intercourse With a Limbless Cadaver, recorded for the Orchestrated Chaos CD compilation from Soulside Records in March of 1996. The curse of line-up changes was still haunting the chapel when Derrel was told to fuck off and die. His replacement was a mortal in black, Leon del Muerte, who took over the thrashing and crashing guitars. The new terror squad participated in riots of violence with VITAL REMAINS, BEN܍B, SADISTIC INTENT, and MAN IS THE BASTARD. Leon would only brandish the scepter on two EXHUMED recordings. The track, Bleeding Heap of Menstrual Carnage, recorded in June of 1996, appeared on the Accidental Double Homicide vol. 4 7" compilation from Satan?s Pimp Records. Their portion of the Chords of Chaos split CD from Lofty Storm Records featured five EXHUMED tracks of endless pain, circa October, 1996, alongside the twisted minds of EAR BLEEDING DISORDER, NECROSE, and EXCRETED ALIVE. Soon after, the warriors of death got tired and red of Leon?s attitude and decided to release the dead. Leon was told to K.M.A.. EXHUMED continued to practice the Marshall arts as a power trio, waiting for the right necrophiliac to come bursting out. The death squad proceeded in September of 1997 to lay down two tracks of war and pain for their split 7" with NO COMPLY from Open Wound Records, entitled Instruments of Hell. The three soldiers of fortune then went below the belt, recording two more epidemics in November, 1997 for the Indignities to the Dead split 7" with PANTALONES ABAJO MARINERO for Discos Al Pacino Records. These flags of hate cleared any doubts that these sons of Hades were any less of a diabolic force as a three-piece.

Piece by piece, the metal militia began to sharpen and perfect the material for their debut full length album, while finding time to appear live without sense next to MORTIIS in the magic forest. In December, 1997, the winds of mayhem carried the bonebreakers overseas to bring the iron hammer down on eastern Europe in a thrashing rage as part of Morbid Records? Grind Over Europe II tour. There, they fought with the beast alongside such other heavy metal maniacs as NYCTOPHOBIC, HEMDALE, KADATH, AGATHOCLES, MURDER CORPORATION, VOMITORY and DERANGED. Upon completion of their viral warfare, the speed merchants in

EXHUMED decided that they needed a true fallen angel with total command of the blade to build the weapons of the biermacht back to a violent force capable of creating a total desaster. Six-string overlord Mike Beams was called upon to be a protector of death for the death metal
bulldozer that is EXHUMED, as they made their way south of heaven to play in Mexico in March, 1998. The aggressive perfectors continued forward to termination with the recording of two new split 7" records in May of 1998, Totally Fucking Dead with NYCTOPHOBIC for Revenge Records, and Tales of the Exhumed with RETALIATION for Headfucker Records. These perfectly showcased the force of the new line-up and served as a welcome to the slaughterhouse for Mike before recording the raging violence that would become their debut album.

A contract in blood was inked with the multi-death corporation Relapse Records for the LP and at last it is time to let there be death...Recorded and mixed in the House of Death, the band spent 1,000 days in Sodom with guitar guru James Murphy, whose mixing skills have earned him the reputation as a conqueror. The riders of doom are delivering this masterpiece of instant death to retailers everywhere. The album, Gore Metal, left the underground stricken by might and proved once and for all that death is certain... life is not!!!

After causing massive devastation on stage at the March Metal Meltdown, and delivering a fix of Power Thrashing Death at the Massachusetts Metal and Hardcore Fest, the band decided to make Ross the next in the line of victims of sacrifice, since he had begun acting like Urm the Mad. Still dedicated to their oath to kill and kill again, Exhumed called in the exorcist and recruited bass-bludgeoner Bud Burke (ex-Pale Existence) to infect the crypts of eternity across the states on the first ever Exhumed US tour, the Relapse North American Contamination Tour. The Exhumed live battery was featured alongside such Metal knights as Soilent Green, Today is the Day, Morgion, Nasum, Cephalic Carnage, and Benumb. Exhumed brand of dead heavy, dead evil, Death Metal was truly too loud for the crowd, and the band's notoriety as a live Metalstorm was proven! The power and corruption of Exhumed live proved to be an overdose of mega-watt mayhem that took the deathrash genre to new depths of death. Upon returning to the Bay Area, the festered foursome immediately set themselves to the daunting task of decomposing the new album. This deathstrike will solidify Exhumed's rightful place in the black city of Death Metal's elite. EXHUMED still remains bonded by blood to the underground, and will never rest until they have taken over, and rule by DEATH METAL!!
