The first reader to correctly guess that the indecipherable logo belongs to Fraser, Michigan death/grindcore band Saprogenic was Kratz. Two severed thumbs up for the informed, insightful headbanger.
Saprogenic was formed in July, 2001by guitarist John Skinner, singer Jeremy Swanson and ex-Parallax View drummer Jerrod Macpherson. After jamming around a bit, second guitarist Suat Kusefoglu and bassist Tim Recchia were brought into the fold. Almost immediately, Saprogenic played their debut show at the Detroit Contemporary.
The band's released its first demo in late 2001 and landed a deal with Deepsend Records, which released The Wet Sound of Flesh on Concrete in 2003. After playing numerous shows and fests, Kusefoglu quit the band in 2005 because of time constraints. The same year, Saprogenic signed to Forever Underground Records.
In 2006, the group released its second album, Ichneumonid, however in July 2007 Saprogenic lost its practice space and three months later the band went on a temporary hiatus. They reunited in early 2008, however, and, according to their MySpace, they're currently done writing nearly half of their next record. Last month, the band announced that ex-Mutilated guitarist Russ Crossman had joined.
