These lads from Peterborough have a very unique sound and it fucking screams grind and there are definitely traces of hardcore punk, d-beat and metal amongst the chaos that is their music and they seem to be masters of their craft. Hold up, there’s more as they slow it right the fuck down, at a glacier-like pace, but very briefly, which is really fucking cool. This is seriously something straight out of the noise underground with a very nihilistic feel to it, if that’s even possible.
After playing their debut show with Hang The Bastard in march 2012 and releasing a Demo Tape (Church Of Fuck Records) Razoreater have managed to do a lengthy amount of tours, both in the UK and mainland Europe in the time they've been a band. Along the way Razoreater have played Incubate Festival in Holland as well as sharing the stage with bands like Weekend Nacho's, Full Of Hell, Corrupt Moral Alter, Bastions and Human Cull. All of which were booked independently.
In 2013 Razoreater released a Split 7" w/Iced Out (COF Records) followed by another Live Split Tape w/Oblivionized in 2014 (Witch Hunter Records) then continued to play shows relentlessly until hitting the studio to record their LP 'Vacuum Of Nihil'.
Upon the release of 'Vacuum of Nihil' Razoreater will continue touring and making waves in the underground scene.
