death metal band fromBerlin .Band history
Postmortem was founded in 1989. After numerous live appearances (including complete tours with Crematory and Atrocity) and two demos, the band signed its first record deal with Husky Records. After that, they played live again with Crematory and at a few large festivals (Death Comes in Lituania with Hypocrisy, Bands Battle with
Rammstein , and many more). The debut album was immediately sold out and was re-released in 1998. After the "Totmacher" EP, the band changed from the old label toMorbid Records after some disagreements. The four releases were presented after a few tours, including a European tour withMorbid Angel , a Germany tour with Sodom) and almost every large festival (Wacken Open Air ,With Full Force ,Party San ,Dynamo Open Air ,Force Attack ,Death Comes and many more. After the release of "Storm Force" the band separated from Morbid Records. In 1998 the band signed for a license deal for the American market withPavement Music . The "Join The Figh7club" was released via Station 54/SimRec. and was promoted live in 2004 on the European tour withPro Pain andCarnal Forge . But despite a good response from the press and with fans, the drummer and the second guitarist left the band in 2004. At the moment, the band is trying to find new success with a new drummer.Discography
