Goreaphobia
Template:Use American English Template:Use mdy dates Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template otherScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". Goreaphobia, formed by Alex Bouks and Chris Gamble in 1988, is the first American death metal band from Philadelphia and one of the first to emerge from the East Coast scene.[1] They never released a full-length record until after breaking up and reforming, only a demo cassette and two 7-inch EPs.[2] Due to this fact, and their influence on later bands,[3] Goreaphobia has reached a cult status in the underground, with demand for their merchandise still high. The band played many shows in the early 1990s and toured with Immolation on their 1992 "Tour of Possession".
After Goreaphobia's breakup, drummer Craig Smilowski joined Immolation, and Chris Gamble went on to form Blood Storm. Guitarist Alex Bouks joined Incantation.
The band reunited after 15 years of separation in 2007. After reforming they released their debut album, Mortal Repulsion, in 2009.[4]
