Ripping Corpse was a death/thrash metal band formed in 1987 in Red Bank, New Jersey by singer Scott Ruth, guitarist Shaune Kelley, and drummer Brandon Thomas.
Key Information
They recorded 3 demos (Death Warmed Over, 1987; Splattered Remains, 1988; and Glorious Depravity, 1990) and one full-length studio album (Dreaming with the Dead, 1991).
History
[edit]Ripping Corpse released one album, Dreaming with the Dead (1991), and several demos. Members included singer Scott Ruth, guitarist Shaune Kelley, and drummer Brandon Thomas. They later added future Morbid Angel guitarist Erik Rutan, who went on to form Hate Eternal.[1] They also added Scott Hornick.
Rutan left Ripping Corpse to join Morbid Angel around 1993, and recorded Domination. Later that same year, Hornick left the band to attend Boston's Berklee College of Music in Massachusetts. The remaining members split-up soon afterward and later formed Dim Mak.[2]
The band took its name from the second song on Kreator's second album, Pleasure to Kill. The band's lyrics typically were horror-themed.
