About
Bane was an underground death metal band based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, active during the late 1980s and early 1990s. They were a part of the city's foundational extreme metal scene, performing alongside other regional acts and contributing to the midwestern death metal sound. Their most recognized output was the 1991 demo tape 'The Gaze of the Abyss.' The band eventually dissolved as members transitioned into other local projects or left the music scene, leaving behind a legacy primarily documented in zines and underground tape-trading circles.
