CEPHALOTRIPSY Album Release Show 2024 HD live concert full set University of California at San Diego

Cephalotripsy (featuring former Disgorge band members) is an American slam death metal band from California. The group formed in 2003 and have released two albums, three demos and promos. The band is characterized by their crushing heavy death metal style, which focuses primarily on playing slam riffs. They are also known as one of the most influential bands to play the ’slam’ style of death metal after Suffocation and Dying Fetus The band’s name refers to the method of removing a stillborn fetus from the womb by crushing its head. A medical tool known as a cephalotribe is used to do this. As explained by Webster’s Dictionary; a cephalotripsy is “The act or operation of crushing the head of a fetus in the womb in order to effect delivery.“ Cephalotripsy originally began with the members in high school, playing basement shows and house parties. The band wasn’t taken seriously until at least 2006, when they released a three-song demo. Following their demo, the band wrote and recorded their full-length album entitled Uterovaginal Insertion of Extirpated Anomalies (2007), released through Amputated Vein Records. In 2008, Cephalotripsy played the New England Deathfest alongside slam death metal heavyweights Dying Fetus 2011 saw Cephalotripsy release their Promo 2011 CD, displaying a new musical style of which abandoned their previous “slam only“ style. This was met (again) with mixed reception, having some fans not favor the release while others praised their new direction. The following year, the band was included on a split entitled Membro Cephalic Symbiosis with the Russian band Membro Genitali Befurcator. In 2017, after years of inactivity, the band was included on the ninth annual Las Vegas Death Fest, their first performance since 2012. Cephalotripsy shortly thereafter followed-up this show with a US tour with the brutal death metal bands Splattered and Incinerate. Cephalotripsy performed this show to celebrate the release of their second album, Epigenetic Neurogenesis, on July 13, 2024, marking their first album in 17 years.
