Death metal quartet from Sydney whose musical direction touched bases with the likes of '''Altar''', '''Morbid Angel''' and even '''Meshuggah'''. Deadspawn formed around former [[Mortality]] guitarist Darren Jenkins and Bilbija, who came from mid-90s Sydney death metal band [[Depression]], in 1995, but Jenkins was drafted into [[Cryogenic]] shortly afterwards and was replaced by Micallef.  
Deadspawn was a Sydney death metal band formed around former [[Mortality]] guitarist Darren Jenkins and Aaron Bilbija, who came from mid-90s Sydney death metal band [[Depression]], in 1995, but almost immediately Jenkins was drafted into [[Cryogenic]] shortly afterwards and was replaced by Dave Micallef.
The band played its first gig in mid-1996 with Grahame Goode behind the kit but he left shortly afterward to uphold a commitment to [[Neophobia]] and was replaced by Wayne Morris, also ex-'''Depression'''.  


The band played its first gig in mid-1996 with [[Neophobia]] drummer Grahame Goode behind the kit and quickly rose to become the premier death metal band on the Sydney scene. Goode left shortly afterward to uphold a commitment to '''Neophobia''' and was replaced by Morris, also ex-'''Depression'''. With a mature and technical approach to their personal brand of extreme metal power, Deadspawn quickly built a solid reputation built on solid live showings and frequent interstate visits.
After the release of ''Emissions of Reality'' Deadspawn featured at [[Metal for the Brain]] in 2001 with new bass player Pete Peric from [[Syphilis]]. When Micallef and Morris left the band, Deadspawn split up in late 2001.
 
After the release of the excellent ''Emissions of Reality'' however, Deadspawn went quiet, although they did feature at [[Metal for the Brain]] in 2001 with new bass player Pete Peric from [[Syphilis]]. Bilbija was also a member of that band for a year or so; Latsombath joined '''Syphilis''' as Bilbija's replacement in early 2001. When Micallef and Morris left the band, Deadspawn split up in late 2001, although a line-up featuring Bilbija, Peric, Goode, Michael Kordek (bass) and Shane Thompson (vocals) appeared at that year's Metal for the Brain. Peric, Goode and Kordek went on to [[Infernal Method]]. Bilbija was in [[Psi Kore|Psi.Kore]] for a short time and is now a part of [[Daysend]] with Morris and Kordek.
