Infernal Method developed a fearsome reputation for both brutal and melodic death metal and strong live performance and could have gone on to an enviable level of real success if they had managed to keep it together.
Infernal Method was a melodic death metal band from Sydney that was formed after the break up of [[Deadspawn]] by Pete Peric in 2001. Former bandmates Aaron Bilbija, Grahame Goode and [[Automation]]'s Michael Kordek soon joined and the band played at [[Metal for the Brain]] with Shane Thompson on vocals, in place of '''Deadspawn'''. After this Kordek and Bilbija both left the band and were replaced by Lee Glaznmann and Andrew Lilley. [[Shackles]] drummer Joss Separovic joined as vocalist and American musician Jonah Weingarten was recruited on keyboards for the band’s first official show as Infernal Method in Sydney. Weingarten was sacked immediately after this.  


When Sydney band [[Deadspawn]] split up in mid-2001, bass player Pete Peric decided to develop a simmering solo project into a complete band. Switching back to guitar he pulled together former '''Deadspawn''' guitarist Bilbija, ex-'''Deadspawn''', [[Automation]] and [[Neophobia]] drummer Goode, and '''Automation''' guitarist Michael Kordek as bass player and began rehearsing while seeking a vocalist. '''Deadspawn''' had been booked to play [[Metal for the Brain]] that year, so with ex-[[Depression]] singer Shane Thompson temporarily in place, the then-nameless Infernal Method played in the other band’s stead. No further shows were played after this for some time as Kordek left to be replaced by [[Syphilis]] member Lee Glanzmann and then Bilbija left, to shortly join [[Psi Kore|Psi.Kore]]. Ex-'''Psi.Kore''' guitarist Andrew Lilley replaced Bilbija, a permanent singer in [[Shackles]] drummer Joss Separovic was found and Berklee graduate Jonah Weingarten joined on keyboards for the band’s first official show as Infernal Method in Sydney. Weingarten was sacked immediately after this (he is now a member of '''Pyramaze'''), but the band’s pedigree and strength of material began to generate a level of excitement within the local metal scene and throughout most of 2002 Infernal Method played regular live shows.  
At the end of the year the band began working on an album but Separovic split for a short period before returning again; live work re-commenced but in May 2003 it was announced that Lilley had been replaced by ex-[[Lord Kaos]], ex-'''Dimmu Borgir''' member Jamie “Astennu” Stinsson. This line-up played at Metal for the Brain in 2003 but afterwards did little. The album, which had been completed while Lilley was still in the band, remained unreleased while Infernal Method played a smattering of shows in early 2004. After appearing at Bloodlust in July 2004, Infernal Method had split. Goode joined [[Dungeon]], Peric auditioned with [[Friar Rush]] before he too joined '''Dungeon''' but both left that band in February 2005.

The album, which had been completed while Lilley was still in the band, remained unreleased while Infernal Method played a smattering of shows in early 2004; meanwhile Goode and Stinsson had concurrently joined Central Coast hardcore band '''Stronger Than Hate'''. Relations within the band were at a low when they played at [[Bloodlust Festival|Bloodlust]] in July 2004 and no one was that surprised when it was announced shortly afterward that Infernal Method had split. Goode joined [[Dungeon]], Peric auditioned with [[Friar Rush]] before he too joined '''Dungeon''' but both left that band in February 2005.
Infernal Method reformed with Matt Sorenssen from '''Syphilis''' taking over from Astennu in March 2005. After some return shows, Separovic left Infernal Method to be replaced by Evan Williams from [[Flesh Mechanic]].

Former bandmates Aaron Bilbija, Grahame Goode and Automation's Michael Kordek soon joined and the band played at Metal for the Brain with Shane Thompson on vocals, in place of Deadspawn. After this Kordek and Bilbija both left the band and were replaced by Lee Glaznmann and Andrew Lilley. Shackles drummer Joss Separovic joined as vocalist and American musician Jonah Weingarten was recruited on keyboards for the band’s first official show as Infernal Method in Sydney. Weingarten was sacked immediately after this.
