Band information

Zero Degrees Freedom is a melodic death metal band from Launceston in Tasmania. Both albums were recorded more or less solo by Frech, who has since put together a band for live performance that includes Pope and Tujela from Corpse Carving (among others).

During 2005 the band participated on a split release with Frech's other band Nosce Teipsum and since then worked on a third album produced with Joe Haley from Psycroptic. The Calm Before the Silence was released in April, 2008.

-===Band information===
-Excarnated was a death/grind band originally formed under the name '''Hacktician''' as a duo of Chris and Paul. Gary was quickly recruited into the line-up for their second demo. Chris and Gary were both original members of [[Antichrist]]. In 1998 the name change to Excarnated occurred and following the recording of the "Genital Gallery" demo Paul left the band to continue with his bizarre project, [[Vomitorial Corpulence]]. Craig (bass) and Chris (drums) then joined to make up the numbers.
-At the end of 2000, Gary left Excarnated and Paul returned to play some live shows. ''Homicidal Decimation'' was recorded as a two-piece of Chris and Craig and released in mid-2002. Keil and Tony then joined the band, but shortly afterward Craig was let go and Keil stepped aside for personal reasons.
-Chris and Tony recorded "Where the Dead Dream". Keil then rejoined and ex-[[MSI|M.S.I.]] bassist Nick was also added to the line-up. Live shows began once again and when drummer Matt was found, Excarnated remained stable until June 2005 when Tony departed. Another recording was begun for release in 2006; in March Excarnated supported '''Disgorge''' but at the same time Matt announced he was leaving to return to Queensland. With his departure, Excarnated announced that their appearance at the [[Metalstock]] festival would be their last show and the band has now ended however its legacy has continued. Chris and Tony have since formed [[Sanguineous]] which is a more extreme version of what Excarnated was doing; Chris is also with [[The Nihilistic Front]] and has a solo project called [[Pervertum Obscurum]].
