Biography

Master is an American Death Metal band formed in 1983 in Chicago, Illinois, by bassist, vocalist, and songwriter Paul Speckmann. Widely regarded as one of the pioneers of Death Metal, the band helped shape the genre’s early sound with its raw aggression, fast-paced riffs, and uncompromising lyrical themes. Although their self-titled debut album was not released until 1990 due to recording delays, Master had already established a strong underground reputation throughout the 1980s.

Over the decades, Master has maintained a prolific output, releasing numerous albums while evolving their sound without abandoning their old-school Death Metal roots. Despite frequent line-up changes, Paul Speckmann has remained the band’s driving force and only constant member. Known for relentless touring and a steadfast dedication to the underground scene, Master continues to be celebrated as one of the longest running and most influential bands in Death Metal history.
