Broken Hope was formed in 1988 by guitarist/chief-lyricist, Jeremy Wagner, while he was in high school. In 1989 and 1990, Broken Hope recorded two demo tapes and soon secured a recording contract with an independent record label. In 1991, Broken Hope's debut album, "Swamped In Gore" was released worldwide, launching the band out of the underground and into the metal mainstream.*Swamped In Gore was the first death-metal album to ever be recorded digitally.
The first ten years of Broken Hope's existence were filled with non-stop writing, touring, and constant visibility with these albums. Broken Hope's music has received praise from mega-metal bands such as Slipknot, Devildriver, The Black Dahlia murder, and more.
In 2012, Broken Hope signed with Hard Impact Management and Booking with the intention to make Broken Hope a full-time monster again. Now, Broken Hope continues onward with main songwriters Jeremy Wagner and Shaun Glass keeping the beast alive...brutal as ever...
