Milwaukee, Wisconsin's Modern Lobotomy deal in brutal death metal built for maximum blunt force, with early releases like the Protohuman EP signaling a focus on primitive, punishing heaviness.

The band released the album "Solar Anus" and a split 12" before splitting up, leaving behind a catalog that sat at the intersection of death metal brutality and avant-garde provocation.
