Meathook Seed was anindustrial metal music project formed in 1992 by theNapalm Death guitarist,Mitch Harris. Two Meathook Seed albums were released.[2]
Meathook Seed's first album,Embedded, was released in 1993 byEarache Records. The band consisted at that time of Harris and theObituary membersDonald Tardy andTrevor Peres. Peres, being Obituary's guitarist, took the role of vocalist here. The album had two instrumental tracks on it: "Embedded" and "Sea of Tranquility", the latter a nearly 14-minute-long hypnotic track of alienating and electronic sounds, with samples byShane Embury (also of Napalm Death fame) and Steve Guney. Earlier prints of the album used printed semi-transparent paper along with thick, coated paper for the artwork, while later editions used regular paper only.[3]
In 1999, Meathook Seed released a second album,Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth (B.I.B.L.E.), recorded by Paul "Bag" Siddens and Si Reeves at Framework Studios in Birmingham.[4] With the original Obituary members replaced, the band's sound changed from industrial metal to a more industrial rock sound. The French Out vocalist, Christophe Lamouret, took on the vocals, while the formerBenediction drummer, Ian Treacy and Napalm Death bassist, Shane Embury. Longtime Napalm Death producer,Russ Russell, was also added to complete the line-up.
