Grotesque was formed in 2004 by Marc Hawkins (Guitarist) with the intention to create brutal and original death metal.

A replacement was not far away with Daniel Coombs stepping in to take the front man role.
Since their time in the Australian metal scene they have supported such bands as Cannibal Corpse, Nile, Suffocation, Dismember, Psycroptic, Decapitated, Obituary, Fuck I'm Dead, The Berzerker, Alarum, Contrive, The Amenta, Carcass, Fleshgore, Akercocke, Blood Duster, Metalstock in Sydney, An Australian tour with Kataklysm and a various line up of killer local bands.
