Rigor Mortis (band)

Rigor Mortis (band)

Rigor Mortis is a thrash metal band that formed in 1983. Two schoolmates Harden Harrison (drums) and Casey Orr (bass) formed the band when they met Mike Scaccia (guitar). The three young men shared an interest in horror/gore films and very heavy music. With Bruce Corbitt on vocals they created some of the heaviest thrash metal at the time often flirting with death metal. They were also one of the only major thrash bands from Texas and virtually created the underground metal scene there. Recently they have been added to the one day Ozzfest 2008 in Texas, playing on the Texas stage.

Mike Scaccia has also played with industrial metal band Ministry

Casey Orr has also played in the shock rock band GWAR, as the character Beefcake the Mighty.

There was also a Rigor Mortis from New York that evolved into Immolation.
