[edit] Biography

Originally formed in 1992 as Plague Bearer. After several lineup changes, they changed their name to Drawn and Quartered in 1996, when they recorded a self-titled demo. Signing with Moribund Records, D&Q released their debut full-length album, To Kill is Human, in 1999. At first the album was self-released, but they were soon signed to Moribund Records, who then increased the publicity of the album and band. A self-released EP, Crusaders of Blasphemy, followed in 2002. 2003 saw the release of their second full-length on Moribund, Extermination Revelry. In 2004, Crusaders of Blasphemy was re-released with bonus tracks on Ancient Spirit Terror, and the band also released their third full-length, The Return of the Black Death. Their latest album, Hail Infernal Darkness, was released in January 2006.
