“With a pitch-black sense of humor, the Cleveland death metal quartet boils the genre down to its essence – which means they live and die by the riff” PITCHFORK

“This Cleveland collective are out to slaughter unsuspecting death metal fans with a fury heavily rooted in death metal’s past, bringing to mind the best combinations of the sounds from the late 1980s to early 1990s with an undeniable underlying groove provided by the guitars and bass.” INVISIBLE ORANGES

“They’ve only been around since 2019, but 200 Stab Wounds shows are already notorious bloodbaths.” REVOLVER

“You are walking into a slaughterhouse and 200 Stab Wounds is holding the sledgehammer.” METAL INJECTION

“The noise that 200 Stab Wounds have been making is far from subtle.” BLOODY DISGUSTING

Metal Blade Records is pleased to announce that Cleveland death metal quartet, 200 STAB WOUNDS, is officially part of the label’s roster.

“200 Stab Wounds is proud to announce we’ve joined forces with Metal Blade Records. The label’s legacy speaks for itself, so all we can say is we are very excited to leave our mark in the catalog!“
