A punishing, wantonly depraved deathcore outfit, Infant Annihilator emerged in the early 2010s with an unhinged technical death metal style in the vein of Carcass, Cattle Decapitation, and Cephalic Carnage. Known for their shock humor and eclectic videos, the band is primarily a studio-only project. Founded in 2012 in Hessle, England by guitarist/bassist Eddie Pickard and drummer Aaron Kitcher, the band issued their debut album, the Catholic Church-shaming Palpable Leprosy of Pollution, shortly after forming. Their sophomore studio long-player, Elysian Grandeval Galèriarch, followed in 2016, and The Battle of Yaldabaoth arrived in 2019. ~ James Christopher Monger
