200 Stab Wounds is an American death metal band from Cleveland that has delivered an uncompromising mix of brutal riffs, dark atmosphere, and dark humor to the scene since their formation in 2019. Their music is like a butcher’s knife—precise, harsh, and relentless. The band isn’t afraid to experiment with gore themes, using them not just to shock, but to create a distinctive identity that is simultaneously entertaining and terrifying.
The discography of 200 Stab Wounds reflects their rapid rise and evolution. Following their debut EP *Piles of Festering Decomposition* (2020), which introduced their raw and energetic approach to death metal, they released the album *Slave to the Scalpel* (2021). This album, released via Maggot Stomp, was praised for its uncompromising brutality and dark humor. In 2024, the band released their second album, *Manual Manic Procedures*, under Metal Blade Records.
