Nembrionic was a death metal band from the Netherlands, established in 1991 under the original name Nembrionic Hammerdeath, initially focusing on black metal before adopting the shorter name Nembrionic in 1993. Over their career, they produced three albums via Displeased Records and released a joint album with Osdorp Posse before disbanding in 1999.
Biography
The group was formed in April 1991, drawing inspiration from bands such as Venom, Possessed, and Terrorizer. That same year, they recorded a demo. Their 1992 EP achieved sales of approximately 1,800 copies, which led to a contract with the Dutch metal label Displeased Records. Shifting their style toward grindcore and death metal, they issued Tempter, a split release alongside Consolation. To promote this album, they performed roughly 30 concerts and toured with both At the Gates and Consolation.
In 1995, the band shortened their name by removing "Hammerdeath." Their release Psycho One Hundred resulted in appearances at prominent festivals such as Liberation Day, Mundial, and Lowlands, along with a gig at Rotterdam Ahoy. The following year, Nembrionic teamed up with Osdorp Posse to produce Briljant, Hard en Geslepen, which entered the Dutch charts. During 1996, they also played at Dynamo Open Air and Pinkpop Festival, and served as an opening act for Slayer at Paradiso.
Their second-to-last album, Bloodcult, combined home-recorded tracks with most songs from the 1992 EP. Their final studio effort, Incomplete, was crafted as a statement addressing the diminishing intensity within the metal genre.
