Biography
Masada was conceived in 2008 by guitarist Chris Milewski with the
intention not only creating aggressive music, but also something that
involved a sort of uniqueness and thought. Chris was soon joined by
renowned drummer Craig Smilowski (ex-Immolation, ex-Goreaphobia,
Rellik), bassist Matt Dwyer (Rellik) and vocalist Cazz "The Black Lourde
Of Crucifixion" Grant (Crucifier).
In May 2011, the "Suffer Mental Decay" EP was released to great reviews
and a great response in the underground Death Metal scene.
In 2012/2013 Craig Smilowski and Matt Dwyer were eventually relieved of
their duties in Masada so that they could focus on family and their main
musical endeavour - Rellik. After a futile search for replacements,
Cazz, being a drummer, naturally stepped up to sit behind the kit and
Chris took on bass duties.
In February of 2013, as a two-piece, Masada recorded the "Hideous Rot"
tracks which were released (along with the "Suffer Mental Decay" EP and a
special track by Clive Jones (R.I.P) of Black Widow) on CD by Deathgasm Records, vinyl by Blood Harvest Records, and tape by Serpent Eve Records!
