Amputated formed in the Spring of 2002, comprising the line up of Morbid Mark (Vocals), Daryl BC (Rhythm Guitar), Simon (Lead Guitar), Sicky Martin (Bass) and Garry (Drums). They had all known each other from the local Bristol scene and got together after the demise of their previous bands, which coincidently happened around the same time. The bands' primary aim was to become the sickest and most brutal band to hit the Bristol metal scene.
