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). This allowed for some interstate touring including shows in Victoria, NSW and ACT. 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.
+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). This allowed for some interstate touring including shows in Victoria, NSW and ACT. 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.
-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]].
