Stavanger's 122 STAB WOUNDS began life billed as AGONY, releasing the 1995 demo 'Hunting Humans' under their formative title. Although their legacy remains the solitary 1996 Oyvind Grodem produced album 'Deity Of Perversion', various band members have contributed greatly to the Norwegian extreme Metal scene with guitarist Dan E. Stokes having credits with MALPRACTICE and bassist E.N. Death (Frode Sivertsen) connected with ANTAIOS, FORLORN and GEHENNA.

Involved at one time with 122 STAB WOUNDS would be the GEHENNA, FORLORN, SATYRICON, BLOOD RED THRONE and SHADOW SEASON guitarist Sanrabb, AURVINDIR and FORLORN guitarist Alvarin (a.k.a. Hennex) as well as FORLORN bassist C. Worhn. Other 122 STAB WOUNDS personnel include drummers Blod (Jan Egil Fosse), involved with ANTAIOS, FORLORN, GEHENNA, PAINTED SILENCE, TSUJDER and INFEST and Dirge Rep (Per Husebø), a well known veteran of DESSPO HALLELUJAH, AURA NOIR, GEHENNA, ENSLAVED, ORCUSTUS and NEETZACH amongst others.

A second album was mooted but, with steady progress on with parallel act FORLORN, never transpired. Sanrabb, E.N. Death and Blod all featured as members of THE DEVIANT, releasing the 'Intimate Skinning' demo. An album, 'Ravenous Deathworship', followed in November 2005.
