The Accüsed is a crossover thrash band from Seattle, Washington, founded in 1981. The band was a progenitor of the crossover style that bridged the gap between thrashcore and thrash metal, later influencing grindcore and some crust punk bands; as well as an influential band in the Seattle alternative scene. The band calls their music "splattercore", and their zombie mascot, Martha Splatterhead, appears on most of their albums. Common themes involve social issues and the theme of Martha Splatterhead coming back from the dead to slaughter rapists and child molesters. The Accüsed took an 11-year hiatus in 1992, with members taking time to play in Seattle bands such as The Fartz and Gruntruck. The band re-formed in 2003, and continues to be active.
The Accüsed was created in 1981 in Oak Harbor, Washington by bassist Chibon 'Chewy' Batterman; drummer Dana Collins; and guitarist Tommy Niemeyer. John Dahlin was the vocalist from 1982 to 1984. The band's first two demo cassettes and their album, Please Pardon Our Noise, It Is the Sound of Freedom, released in 1983 drew heavily from hardcore punk. In 1984 The Fartz vocalist, Blaine Cook, replaced Dahlin.
Scream and die
Scream and die
Scream, scream
Scream, scream
Scream and die
Scream and die
Scream, scream
Scream, scream
Scream and die
Scream and die
Remote in fog, a beautiful stranger
Dares to enter, seeking her lover
But finding a horror that whispers
Scream and die
No one is safe, there's no escape
From the voice that whispers
Scream and die
The nightmare begins
That pursues her relentlessly
Destroys those around her savagely
Nothing can silence the voice that whispers
Scream and die
No one is safe, there's no escape
From the voice that whispers
Scream and die
Scream and die
Scream and die
Scream, scream
Scream, scream
