The Accüsed A.D., 23 June 2022

The Accüsed is an American crossover thrash band from Seattle, Washington, founded in 1981. The band was a progenitor of the crossover style that bridged the gap between thrashcore and thrash metal, later influencing grindcore and some crust punk bands; as well as an influential band in the Seattle alternative scene. The band calls their music "splattercore", and their zombie mascot, Martha Splatterhead, appears on most of their albums. Common themes involve social issues and the theme of Martha Splatterhead coming back from the dead to slaughter rapists and child molesters. The Accüsed took an 11-year hiatus in 1992, with members taking time to play in Seattle bands such as the Fartz and Gruntruck. The band re-formed in 2003, and after several line-up changes "...have returned with NEW songs, and releases of older, vintage material--both due out Summer 2019; with select LIVE appearances to follow..." according to band founder and guitarist Tommy Niemeyer. Once again drummer, Josh Sinder, from The ACCUSED "Grinning Like An Undertaker" and "Straight Razor" releases will team up with Niemeyer as the band prepare to move ahead in the years to come. The band name "The ACCUSED" is a United States Registered Trademark (#5674245).
