Logistic Slaughter is a Technical Brutal Death Metal band hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area. Formed in 2008, with influences stemming mainly from old school death metal.

Through the years the band has worked their way up to being one of the strongest and most respected names in the east bay metal scene. Providing high-octane stage presence and crushingly brutal music, it's no wonder that shows seem a little fuller when Logistic is on the bill.
