History


 

SAPROBIONTIC is a german death metal band from Dresden, Saxony. Formed in December 2012 by Profanation guitarist Chris and Ex-Panzerkreuzer, Ex-Disembowel guitarist Type the band became more than a side project for these guys. During the next few month a couple of songs were written to create their own interpretation of brutal music. In spring 2013, Phil (Ex- Fear the existence) joined the band to do the vocals. A few weeks later, in July 2013 a bass player was found in Nadine (Ex- And still I chase the sun). Due to her influences and her "galloping" rythms she became an excellent complement for the low tunes. In December 2013, Phil and the rest of the band decided to quit the cooperation. Phil was replaced by Maik (Cannibal Instinct) in the same month.

 

The first show was played in May 2014 as support of Massacre (US) and Lay Down Rotten. Since that date Saprobiontic shared the stage with bands like Cryptopsy, Jungle Rot, Disgorge (US), Krow, Obscentity, 5 Stabbed 4 Corpses and many more. In March 2015, Maik left the band and Chris switched over to the microphone. A few weeks later we sadly decided to part with Type to give him more space for his other projects and private life.

 

Our first EP 'BENEATH THE ABYSS' was recorded in April 2015 at City Sound Studios Dresden and was released on Septmber 3rd via Morbid Generation Records. After many shows with bands like Cytotoxin, 7H Target, Dead Infection, Sabiendas and our friends from In Demise & Profanation we got the opportunity to enter the mighty Soundlodge studio (e.g. Sinister, God Dethroned, Dew-Scented, Cliteater, etc.) in September 2016 to record our first full length album 'SCIENCE OF WAR' with Mr. Michiel van der Plicht (God Dethroned) on drums. Released on March 3rd 2017 the album got great reviews by several fan-zines around the world.

 

In spring 2017 we also found a new main vocalist in Sven (Ex-Oblivian) to complete the line up. In December 2019, after several great shows and festivals with bands like Vomitory, Cliteater, Disbelief, Skeletal Remains and many more, Nadine and the band decided to go apart to have more flexibilty for the own projects for each of us. Nadine was replaced by Peter from our mighty friends Purgatory who was doing the bass guitar studio sessions for the second album.

 

In July 2020 we recorded our third release and second full length album 'APOCALYPTIC RETRIBUTION' again at the mighty Soundlodge studio with Michiel van der Plicht on drums. The album was released via Black Sunset Records (a division of MDD records) on February 19th 2021. The album is available on all known streaming platforms and can be ordered directly in our shop.

 

During the pandemic we had to go apart with Sven due to several reasons and Chris took over the vocals again.

 

We are working on our new album now!
