INANIMATE EXISTENCE is a Progressive Death Metal band from Santa Cruz, CA that started in the Fall of 2010. Originally the band would consist of Cameron Porras (former guitarist of FLESH CONSUMED), Ron Casey (BRAIN DRILL), Joel Guernsey, Ivan Munguia (ARKAIK, DEEDS OF FLESH) and Ian Rittmaster. After a few months of jam sessions the band went in to the studio to record a 2 song demo that would consist of the first recordings of , “The Discarnate Self Paradox” and “Iguanid Labyrinth”, during August 2011. Soon after the recording, Ivan parted ways and Mitch Yoesle became the new bassist. Once the Demo was complete, UNIQUE LEADER RECORDS signed the band to release their first full length album entitled “Liberation Through Hearing”. The group entered Castle Ultimate Studios with producer Zack Ohren (DECREPIT BIRTH, SUFFOCATION, ALL SHALL PERISH) during March 2012. The album was released worldwide July 17th 2012 and also featured a guest solo by MATT SOTELO of DECREPIT BIRTH. As of now INANIMATE EXISTENCE has shared the stage with bands such as DISGORGE, SEVERED SAVIOR, DYING FETUS, ARKAIK, FALLUJAH, SON OF AURELIUS, CATTLE DECAPITATION, PUTRID PILE, VEHEMENCE and many other extreme bands. Currently INANIMATE EXISTENCE is touring to support their debut album and is writing for their 2nd album which is to be released on UNIQUE LEADER RECORDS.
