Embedded
Debut album Embedded was released in 1993 via Earache. The band consisted at that time of Harris and Obituary members Donald Tardy and Trevor Peres. Peres, being Obituary's guitarist, took the role of vocalist here. The album had two instrumental tracks on it: "Embedded" and "Sea of Tranquility", the latter a nearly 14 minute long hypnotic track of alienating and electronic sounds, with samples by Shane Embury (also of Napalm Death fame) and Steve Guney.
Earlier prints of the album used printed semi-transparent paper along with thick coated paper for the artwork, while later editions used regular paper only.[4][5]Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth (B.I.B.L.E.)
In 1999, Meathook Seed released their second album Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth (B.I.B.L.E.), recorded by Paul 'Bag' Siddens and Si Reeves at Framework Studios in Birmingham.[6] With the original Obituary members replaced, the band's sound shifted from industrial metal to a more industrial rock sound. French Out vocalist Christophe Lamouret takes on the vocals, while former Benediction drummer Ian Treacy takes on the percussion and Napalm Death bassist Shane Embury now joins on bass. A session guitarist, Russ Russell, is also added to complete the lineup with Harris.
