History
After two self-released cassettes they signed with Shock's metal label, Thrust Records.[1] They released two albums, Crawlspace (1993) and Control (1995).[1] After each album they toured Australia to promote the records. They supported international acts Morbid Angel, Fear Factory, Pungent Stench and Carcass on their tours in Australia.[1] In 1996 Infected released another cassette[1] and broke up in September.[2]
Infected reformed in 2003 to record a new EP and again in 2008. After another shorter period of inactivity, 2009 saw the band play a Halloween show in Perth in support of a re-release of their album crawlspace through Western Australian label Prime Cuts Music.
