Celebrity Morgue

Since 2006 heavy metal outfit CELEBRITY MORGUE have eviscerated the Sydney metal scene, shocking their audiences with the crime scene brutality of their performances. Celebrity Morgue’s gore-spattered and violently animated set has made them one of the most memorable live acts on the NSW metal scene. Celebrity Morgue’s self-titled promo EP was distributed free to the 1000’s of fans attending live shows across Sydney. In 2009 Celebrity Morgue released a split EP “Crime Scene Do Not Cross” which was also distributed free. In 2010 Celebrity Morgue in association with Electric Sun Recording Studios produced a four track EP entitled FLESH & BONE. Film clips for the songs Inchworm and LSDisney were also produced by the band. The release of Flesh & Bone was widely promoted during Celebrity Morgue’s tour up and down the East Coast of Australia from Victoria to Queensland. Celebrity Morgue’s music has featured on The Club Blink DVD and the Kill City sampler CD played on college radio across the USA. Their music and live footage also appears on a base-jumping documentary, a paintball promo DVD, and during an interview on the Metal Unleashed web channel. The band’s aggressive stage presence, horror imagery and music have left a lasting impact on the crowds that witnessed their live shows, seen their film clips and purchased their music. Celebrity Morgue is currently red to the elbows in pre-production for their first full length album. “A homicidal maniac lives within all of us. There is a place inside everyone’s brain that is starting to rot and fester. Maybe it’s because of television. Maybe it’s because of office-related stress issues. Maybe it’s those long hours spent looking at gore-porn, desensitized to the sight of severed heads, surgery mishaps and third-world atrocities. Give that rot time to spread and it becomes a driver, a maniac. He fantasizes about playing in blood, the wearing of faces, etc. He lives in a morgue filled with the bodies of dead celebrities, the ones we take sick pleasure in seeing all mouldy and covered with sick on the cover of Who Magazine. This is what Celebrity Morgue is.” Celebrity Morgue Kill Your Scene interview – 9th January 2012
