Boston's SCAPHISM looks to kick off 2018 in the most violent way possible with the release of Unutterable Horrors.
The band's highly-anticipated new album comes five years after its debut, Festering Human Remains. The time between releases has seen SCAPHISM grow into one of the most lethal forces on the New England Death Metal scene. Eight-tracks of no-frills, throat-ripping USDM, Unutterable Horrors will be out January 12 on Horror Pain Gore Death Productions.

Scaphism is a Massachusetts-based death metal band formed in 2007, originally as a solo-project by guitarist Evan Woolley. Shortly after releasing his 2008 demo, Butchered and Devoured, Woolley added Alex Fewell (drums), Tony Jordan (vocals) and Tom Gretschel (bass) to the fold. Their first release together was a 3-way split with fellow locals Boarcorpse and Composted in 2010. Scaphism then spent the next few years playing live and building a dedicated following.
In 2012 Scaphism released their first full length album Festering Human Remains with an accompanying US tour. They spent the next few years writing the follow-up album but due to several line-up changes progress was hindered. In 2015 bassist Erik Jordan rounded out the roster and the band resumed, eventually emerging from the studio with their second full-length Unutterable Horrors. The band signed with Horror Pain Gore Death Productions in 2017.

BIOGRAPHY
Scaphism was formed in April of 2007 as a death metal side-project by Evan Woolley (Treachery, Legion of the Dying, etc.). In 2008 Evan released the two track, limited edition cassette demo entitled "Butchered and Devoured" and soon after its release it was decided his project needed to evolve into a full fledged four piece. After some time spent in the local scene looking for the right musicians to fill the void, it led to the discovery of Alex Fewell (Forced Asphyxiation), Tom Gretschel (Never Say Never), and Tony Jordan (Sacreligion).
In mid-2009, Scaphism began playing shows all over the New England area, and in late 2009 the unofficial live demo entitled "Live at Church" was released. In 2010 Scaphism released a three way split CD with Boarcorpse and Composted, which was their first studio release as a full band.
Scaphism's debut album "Festering Human Remains" was released on April 19th, 2012 and they performed an East Coast/Midwest tour in support of the release. Later that year, the band parted ways with their bassist, and Josh Staples (Abnormality, Sarcomancy, etc.) was asked to fill in. After a few more local shows, he was asked to join full-time.
The next year was spent mostly writing and rehearsing material for Scaphism's 2nd full length album, and playing the occasional local show. Towards the end of 2013, the band parted ways with Josh, and welcomed Tony's brother Erik in as their new bassist in early 2014.
Recording, mixing and mastering of their 2nd album took place over the next two years, and as of this writing, Scaphism is currently searching for a label to help release it.
