Festering Sore formed in early 1992. Inspired by 'power trio' metal bands like Venom, Sodom, Slaughter(Can.), Destruction, VoiVod (sort-of a trio - only three play instruments...), and others, Festering Sore set about taking the early-thrash stylings of the aforementioned power-trios and fusing them with a good amount of the emerging new death metal style. Massive drug and alcohol habits stymied the band's growth, hence it taking six years(!) for the band to get their shit together enough to make connections with Atlanta-based Unsung Heroes Records.
