Whore of Bethlehem

Whore of Bethlehem was formed by Ryan Sylvie, Rene Martinez and TJ Rodriguez of Scattered Remains (Ossuary Industries) and Jason Ogden of Blaspherian (Deathgasm Records) in 2010. Their intention was to depart somewhat from the signature brutal Texas death metal style of Scattered and explore a more blackened sound while rejecting labels and boundaries. Because it started out as a side project and because the vocalist position was a revolving door for the first year, WoB made slow progress initially. In 2011 things picked up. Patrick Moore of Sakrefix (Metalhit.com) took on vocal duties and the band began playing shows around Texas. Whore of Bethlehem has since shared the stage with acts such as Devourment, Insidious Decrepancy, Hod, Liturgy (New York) Vex, Uncleansed, Vesperian Sorrow, Evil United, and many more. Most recently, James Vandenberg of Uncleansed, Perversum has stepped in to take up vocals for the band. Whore of Bethlehem is finished with it's first 10 track album, with theplans to release sometime in 2014.
