Formed in 1994 under “Necrosis”, later “Exhumation”, and in early 1997 finally the name Chris came up with in the early 90’s. Benevolence sought to distance itself from the myriad of metal bands in the area, Benevolence originally leaned more towards the death / doom scene. Since we have developed some speed and attitude. We retain a sound that is distinctively death metal but we have no problem infusing influences that don’t always appear in this genre. We have had many set backs and a revolving door of line up changes, but now have our strongest lineup to date. We have shared the stage with such acts as Napalm Death, Skinlab, Extol, Living Sacrifice, Six Feet Under, Origin, Malevolent Creation, As I Lay Dying, Vader, Kataklysm, Destruction, Animosity, Crimson Thorn, Graveworm, Speed Kill Hate, King’s X, Galactic Cowboys and many others.
