Their debut album, Death Hammer, was recorded in February 2012 at Foel Studio, Wales,[2] with producer Chris Fielding.
[6] The music of Flayed Disciple is composed by every band member; the lyrics on Death Hammer were written by Tolfree and Whyte.
Their lyrical content has come up against some controversy in recent times, as the themes of serial killers, rape, murder, paedophilia and atheism feature in most songs.
Recently, heavier bands such as Cannibal Corpse, Demolition Hammer, Napalm Death and Deicide have also influenced their musical style.
Flayed Disciple did not have a bass player for three years after former bassist (and original member) Nathan Bartley left the band in 2009, to become a full-time hippie.
