Dr. Shrinker is an American Old School Death Metal band formed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin,1987. The band did not last too long but it's impact on the Death Metal scene is huge. Entombed has credited Dr. Shrinker to be one of their early influences. They are in a cult status,to say the least...

I'm wondering something concerning bands like Dr. Shrinker and others. Were they as underground as they are today ? Please tell me :)

@maggotfrom1993 Pretty much.

@maggotfrom1993 Oh.... and Corpse/Grave of course! (Tjena Jörgen)

@maggotfrom1993 You have to remember there was no Internet, and no big magazines like Decibel/Terrorizer. To hear (or even hear of) bands like Dr Shrinker, Necrovore, R.A.V.A.G.E, Grotesque, Ex-Mortis or us (Nirvana 2002) you would need to track down obscure fanzines and demo tapes with photocopied covers (or settle for someone copying said demo for you, often resulting in 5-10 generation copies). Read up on what it was like in Choosing Death, Swedish Death Metal and The Slayer Diaries.

Odd Rock Cafe, that's where it went down.

@timninerell Hell Yeah! can't forget Morta Skuld and Jungle Rot though,

This is really fucking cool, too bad they weren't around long and got little to no recognition. I only found out about them from a split they did with NunSlaughter, which you fuckers should all check out if you haven't already.

@TortureDivision Cool story bro.

[TortureDivision]

@NightRanger77 I was in Grave, I was the vocalist/guitarist/basist. Jörgen Sandström. Now in Torture Division and others..

This band kicks. I used to have the cassette demo but made a bad trade. I'm glad it was released on CD
