Biography
Heat rises from beneath the smoldering embers of two collapsed monuments, as a new death metal firestorm of Australian extremity ascends, one of which knows no boundaries; Infinitum.
"This could very well be my final pick for Album of the year in 2008. Fantastic brutal, precise and well written Death Metal. Infinitum is a winner." - Excerpt from Infinitum's "Behold Eradication" review on Metal

Vengeance shall be found in the name of Canberra's Infinitum. Those smoldering, deathly ashes where the residual cores disseminated by two of Canberra's most carnal death metal acts. One half, one of Australia's pioneering death metal bands Psychrist, and the other, Dehuman. With both bands playing together in Canberra frequently, friendships and alliances where forged over time, and soon after the dissolution of Psychrist, those associations where amalgamated. The procreation was not confined to any specific subject matter, nor restrained by stylistic limitations, alas; the name Infinitum was innate, 2005.
In 2006, a pro-pressed self titled, 3 track demo was recorded and dispersed. 500 copies where pressed, leaving a mere 30 left to this date. The initial lineup included the brutish gurgling of Wes Roth (Psychrist) on vocals. Not long after the release of the demo, however, Wes moved interstate and Damien Ferrari (Dehuman) was drafted into the void. Natural interest in the collaboration between these two fine bands was high and such was the impact of the demo, their first live show was an invitation to Sydney, to support brutal death metallers Disgorge (USA) in May 2006. Ironically, this was also Infinitum's first and last show with a live drummer. Since then, a drum machine has been enlisted until such further time as a replacement can be found.
Over the next year Infinitum played around 10 shows whilst also laying down the foundations to their first opus, in the studio, which we now know as "Behold Eradication". Australia has always had a reputation for producing some of the world's heaviest death metal. Infinitum are no exception, yet effectively meld some of the more technically profuse elements of American death metal. The name "Infinitum" receives no more justification than what is evident on this album. Thunderous, ultra brutal death metal combining intense, strangulating, chaos interlaced with semi-melodic harmonies and leads. Such is the note perfection displayed, it leaves their vacant drummer position an intimidating proposition indeed. Damien proves his acquisition on vocals was more than just a mere replacement. Pure Frank Mullen worship amongst screams that sound like Frank literally getting his balls ripped off. Whilst reviews of this album have been short in supply so far, they have all been nothing short of acclaim.
Acting as main support for Psycroptic in Canberra late 2008, whilst also headlining their own shows in Brisbane, Sydney and Canberra, 2009 sees the band continuing to grow steadily from strength to strength. Over the last few months their live front has slightly diminished, while the band once again knuckles down to the rigors of the writing process. With four to five new songs sketched, the band plans to have another full lengths worth of material ready by the end of 2009.
It is now too late to run. Oxygen has evaporated from the air, the heat has torched your shadow, and you're left their writhing, blistering, and pustulating with Infinitum branded across your body.
