Band information

Aftermath was an early Sydney death metal act established in 1990 with a line-up of Gregor Wegner and Tony Trenter on guitar, Jay Lee on bass, Dave Kidd on drums and Jeff Moffat on vocals. The band supported tours by Carcass, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide and Pungent Stench. In 1994, Pat and Shane Piercy joined Aftermath replacing Trenter and Lee and the next year they were both replaced by Leif Gregory and Alex Hole, but shortly afterwards the band split. Dave Kidd joined Unclean, Gregory went to Dark Order and Shane Piercy joined Volatile. Hole was later in Sh'mantra.

Aftermath reformed in 2003 as Moffat, Kidd, Wegner and Lee but Moffat soon left for the UK and joined Anchorhead. Ex-Persecution vocalist Rod Hunt was recruited and with a new bass player Dave Hickey the band began work on new songs, but in the end the group split up in 2006 without ever playing live. Wegner, Lee, Gregory and Moffat attempted another reunion in 2010 but that too stalled. Pat Piercy died on May 30, 2013 and Leif Gregory suffered a fatal heart attack on December 21, 2016.

In 2019, Aftermath reunited with three original members, Wegner, Lee - now on guitar - and Trenter, now as bassist, with Loz Lamy from Deiformity on vocals and Pete Kelly drumming. Remastermath, a compilation of all their early demo tracks, was released in mid-2021 after a return show earlier in the year.
