Band biography

The utter brutality of UNMERCIFUL was founded in 2001 in a cramped, 8 foot by 8 foot room of a shoe box house in the boonies of Topeka, KS.

James King (frustrated guitarist) and Clint Appelhanz (fresh out of recording engineering school) took a journey to a music store to invest in some gear for recording. The gruesome twosome anointed themselves with the name "Anal Maggot".

With indispensable recording access and relentless determination, the two began to evolve into an inexorable force.

Recognizing the need for a full band (and a name change), Clint and James began auditioning various musicians and changed the name to UNMERCIFUL, but could not find a stable lineup. Thus, the band temporarily disbanded in 2002 when Clint re-joined ORIGIN (after the departure of Jeremy Turner).

Meanwhile, James had found a lineup with Jamie and Nate Serrano and Brian "Big B" Owensby. After Origin was finished touring, Clint re-joined the "new" UNMERCIFUL and recorded the demo "Weed Out the Weak".

Yet again, the lineup disbanded and were replaced by Jeremy Turner (who, since the departure with Origin, had been with CANNIBAL CORPSE as a touring guitarist), and SICK up-and-comer Tony Reust on vocals.

UNMERCIFUL is in the midst of recording a full length album of inevitable destruction, set out to lay waste to all. UNMERCIFUL is also looking for a permanent bassist with inexplicable skill and professional manner. Serious inquiries only.

Look for a special appearance by at least one person on this recording, tentatively titled "Unspeakable Acts"!

In December of 2005 the band signed a two album contract with Unique Leader Records. Their debut album "Unmercifully Beaten" was released in early 2006.
