With the knife-wielding, toothy-grinned Martha Splatterhead at their side, Seattle’s own THE
ACCUSED carved their way into the underground music scene by becoming one of the
cornerstones of crossover music that melted faces in the 80s across the globe––A punk/metal
fusion that planted its ever-growing seed in modern heavy weights such as MUNICIPAL
WASTE, LAMB OF GOD, CANNIBAL CORPSE, DEAD CROSS, and many more.
In 2005 Three-fourths of the Accused broke away from the band and formed
TOE TAG a grittier, back to roots incarnation of the Splatterrock sound.
At the behest of the fans, TOE TAG occasionally guised themselves as MARTHA’S REVENGE:
The West Coast Premiere ACCUSED Tribute Band, playing a horror-filled mix of TOE TAG
originals and resurrecting ACCUSED classics, laying waste to the West Coast and plucking
fresh, young fans from their Mama’s arms, introducing them to all that is Splatterrock.
In 2016 Following in the footsteps of bands like VENOM INC. KNOW, FLAG, and ENTOMBED
AD––the blender baby known as MARTHA’S REVENGE now proudly sports the moniker
THE ACCUSED AD/afterdeath.
In 2019 the band releases “Ghoul in the Mirror” on Blackhouse Records Ltd.
In 2025 the band follows up this release with a split LP titled “La Bestia” with Retox A.D.
Performances at the Maryland Death Fest, Northwest Terror Fest, Metal Immortal Fest, Mass
Destruction Metal Fest, Japanese Tour, and countless dates in the States. The band has just
returned from a tour of Mexico and South America.
Australia booked for September of 2025.
And a return to South America in 2026.
The cult of Splatter is alive, and the Kool-Aid is being consumed insatiably so.
The Splatterrock Enforcers.
