History

Murder Construct was formed in 2001 following Leon del Muerte's departure from Impaled. The band then went through several line-up changes and subsequently the band went on hiatus while del Muerte rejoined Exhumed, and later Phobia and Intronaut.

The band was re-formed in August 2006, when del Muerte left Intronaut. The band then recorded a self-titled 7-song EP. On March 27, 2010, the band played its first show. In August 2010, the band signed with Relapse Records.[2] The band toured with Kill the Client and Venomous Concept in September 2010. In November 2010, Relapse Records released their self-titled EP.

In June 2012, Relapse Records announced the debut album cover and title, Results.[3] The album was released on August 28, 2012. In February 2013, the band parted ways with Kevin Fetus, and were joined by new guitarist Chris McCarthy. Murder Construct then tracked a Disrupt cover for a tribute to Disrupt, to be released on Power It Up Records.[4]

gollark: I've decided to just shut down my hatchery thing. There's basically no chance of the issue being resolved sensibly.
gollark: Probably. I don't think I could get much more even by breeding it, but thought it would be worth asking at least.
gollark: I got that 3G prize from CB prize I was mentioning earlier.I've gotten an offer of IOUs for (from someone on here, so relatively trustworthy) a 3G SAltkin and 3G PB prize.Would it be sensible to just take that or try and get a different thingy or even just keep the one I have?
gollark: A surprisingly clever strategy.
gollark: Hopefully they'll accept my offer on that...
