Haemorrhage was formed in 1990, then known as Devourment, by Jose and Luisma, with the first line-up being Jose on bass and vocals, Luisma on guitars, and Emilio on drums, though this only lasted until the summer of '91, when Emilio left the band. In 1992, the group reformed and released their first demo, Grotesque Embryopathology, as Haemorrhage. Grotesque Embryopathology featured Luisma as guitarist, Jose as drummer, and both as vocalists.
