About Ulcerate

Ulcerate is a groundbreaking progressive death metal band hailing from Auckland, New Zealand, formed in 2000 by drummer Jamie Saint Merat and guitarist Michael Hoggard. Known for their fiercely innovative approach, Ulcerate carved a unique niche within extreme metal by blending abrasive, dissonant guitar work, thunderous blast beats, and deep, guttural vocals delivered by bassist and vocalist Paul Kelland, who joined after their debut album. This lineup solidified the band’s distinctive sound, heavily influenced by pioneers such as Gorguts, Immolation, and Cryptopsy, which emphasized complex dissonance and an overwhelming atmosphere of existential dread.

Emerging from underground beginnings, Ulcerate refined their craft through relentless DIY commitment, consistently self-producing their recordings at MCA Studios in Auckland. Their debut album, "Of Fracture and Failure" (2007), featured high-pitched screams by Ben Read, but it was their follow-up, "Everything Is Fire" (2009), that established them as leaders of the genre. Subsequent critically acclaimed releases—"The Destroyers of All" (2011), "Vermis" (2013), and "Shrines of Paralysis" (2016)—were released through respected labels Willowtip and Relapse Records, expanding their global reach.

In 2020, Ulcerate unveiled "Stare into Death and Be Still" via Debemur Morti Productions, further solidifying their reputation as innovators in the extreme metal scene. With a sound both intense and cerebral, Ulcerate continues to push the boundaries of progressive death metal, maintaining artistic integrity and a fiercely independent spirit.
