Crucifracture was formed in 2004 by David Slattery (drums) and Shane ‘Red’ Corcoran (guitars, vocals) with Robert Kelly (guitars, vocals) and Neville Lawless (bass) joining to complete the lineup. The group won a local battle of the bands after only a handful of shows which led to the recording of the “Grotesque Jigsaw” EP as the prize for first place.
Lawless later went on to Guttrench and Corcoran to Grot, Putrefy, Crimson Butchery and more.
