History

Early career (2006)

The band formed in January 2006 in Shore Points, New Jersey. They released their self-titled two song demo titled Demo 2006 in 2006 with two tracks which are "Chased Through the Woods by a Rapist" and "Blood Splattered Satisfication". Both songs became a large part of the band's recognition and were both later re-recorded.

Perverse Recollections of a Necromangler (2007-2009)

On November 21, 2007 their debut album Perverse Recollections of a Necromangler, was released on Necrohamonic Records.[6]

Beyond Cops, Beyond God, touring and future plans (2010-present)

On August 10, 2010, Waking The Cadaver released their second full length album titled as Beyond Cops. Beyond God. Waking the Cadaver supported tours for death metal bands such as Napalm Death and Immolation.[7] As of the future, the band plans on touring persistently and writing new songs.

Real-Life Death and new single (2013-breakup)

On January 19, 2013, it was confirmed the band released a new single called "Lumped Up", which will also be featured on their new album. Waking the Cadaver then announced their plans to release their new album entitled Real-Life Death.[8] The band later confirmed to join the studio on January 26 during 2013 to record the album. It was recorded at Full Force Studios with producer Joe Cincotta.

Real-Life Death was released digitally and sold at the band's live concert shows on October 5, 2013 and was released in stores November 5, 2013.[9]

On February 7, 2015 the band took to Facebook and stated "it is with sad news that WTC will have to announce that we are no longer a band. Truth be told, we haven't been a band since our last show we played in Seattle October 2013 on the Dying Fetus/Exhumed tour. We were never sure what the status of the band was going to be all this time, that's why there hasn't been an announcement, but some of you have figured it out and it's only right to let everyone know the truth. There's no bad blood with members or anything, we are all just living busy lives and are unable to commit to the demands of being in this band. Who knows, maybe in a couple years we'll jam again. We want to thanks all our fans world wide...it's so amazing how you people have made this band able to do things other slam bands would dream of doing. We sincerely love you all from the bottom of our cold dead hearts!!! Stay brutal"
