A legendary band made up of four best friends that sold more records than any other band in history. During their original three year, eight album run, they toured the galaxy and helped jumpstart the careers of bands like Metallica and Queen. After a falling out between members just after beginning a tour in support of the album People Order Our Patties, the band came to an end on March 5, 2020, exactly three years after their formation. This would change on September 10, 2021, when Jade Vitriol brought Rectus Abdominus back as a solo project with session and touring musicians, and released its ninth studio album, 091021. Two more albums followed in the form of Flaccid and Swagnum Dopus in November 2021 and January 2022 respectively. After this 7 month tenure as a revived solo project, Jeff The Epic and Cameron Masse rejoined the band in April 2022 and immediately began work on a re-recording of their debut album Fully Erect to celebrate its fifth anniversary, and then on the band’s 12th studio album, To Infinity And Your Mom. Shortly After the album's completion and before it's release, Cameron Masse left the band. After the promotional cycle for the album ended in early 2023, plans were made for the band to end, but those plans were quickly abandoned in May of that year when original members Cameron Masse and Kenonio rejoined the band for the first time in nearly 4 years. With this came the addition of new drummer Sammy Razorsharp, which marked the first time the band had welcomed a new official member since Kenonio first joined in June 2017. Shortly before the completion of their 14th album, Rectus Abdominus and the Palace of the Porcelain Throne, Kenonio was killed in a tragic public auto-erotic-asphyxiation incident. The decision was made to not replace Kenonio. The album and its counterpart, Poop Factory Chronicles Chapter 1: The Emoji Album were dedicated in Kenonio's honor. Both albums were released on July 28, 2023. The band embarked on the Give Us Your Money World Tour at the end of August, but after the North American leg concluded in October, it was announced that drummer Sammy Razorsharp had been killed in a lion-related incident meant to be a hazing ritual conducted by the other band members. Shortly after, it was announced that longtime friend of the band, Despawseatoe, would be taking Sammy’s place.
