Hemdale

Hemdale spawned in 1993 out of Cleveland, Ohio. In fitting with the Midwest tradition, Hemdale are a goregrind/death metal band. Much like food poisoning you can’t wait to be rid of, the original Hemdale only was short lived, breaking up in 1997 and reuniting in 2013. Hemdale are best known for their larger than life, bizarre, and rowdy live shows, their former drummer Craig Rowe’s label, Visceral Productions (after folding, many of Visceral’s bands signed to bigger labels), and never releasing a full-length album.
