Biography

Huntsville, Alabama Death Metal act FLESHTIZED was founded during the Spring of 1996, soon displaying their wares with demos including 1998's 'Tower Of Pain'. A self financed June 2001 mini album 'Divide And Conquer', limited to 1000 copies, followed after which second guitarist Adam Parker quit the line-up. During this period FLESHTIZED drummer Gary White took time out to deputize for UPHEAVAL whilst bassist Garth Lovvorn would session with SPINECAST on the live front and appear on their demo 'Nightmare Of Depravity'.

With the first effort soon selling out the Danish Mighty Music label picked the band up for the full length Jacob Hansen produced album 'Here, Among Thorns'. Included, much to reviewers surprise, would not only be a not for note perfect cover version of MORBID ANGEL's 'Rapture' but three guitar solo instrumentals and a bass solo. FLESHTIZED also cut a version of the CANNIBAL CORPSE track 'Hammer Smashed Face', a song the band had been performing live for many years, for a Dwell Records tribute album.

FLESHTIZED bassist Garth Lovvorn also operated the side project LISIYA GORI in union with BLOODSTAINED DUSK frontman Daggeth, guitarist Jim Mullis and SPINECAST drummer Lance Wright. The trio of Lovvorn, Mullis and Wright would subsequently forge Christian Thrash Metal band TEMPLE OF BLOOD. Meantime, Gary White would also be active with CONVERGENCE FROM WITHIN.

Casey Robertson would decamp in mid 2002, later joining two high profile acts in the Death Metal band REGURGITATION and Black Metal group EPOCH OF UNLIGHT. Following a hiatus, FLESHTIZED reformed in February of 2004, announcing their line up as the PESSIMIST, HATRED UNLEASHED and PSYCHOTOGEN credited vocalist Rob Kline, INCANTATION and SEVEN GATES guitarist Sonny Lombardozzi, bassist Garth Lovvorn and drummer Gary White. Lombardozzi was noted for his dexterity in playing both left handed and right handed on a unique double headed guitar.

FLESHTIZED morphed once more in mid 2004 as both Lovvorn and Robertson made their exit. Making up the numbers would be bassist Jason Flippo of BLOODSTAINED DUSK and QUINTA ESSENTIA repute. Lombardozzi subsequently joined CASTRATION.
