Finnish death metal band The Zombi was formed with the original name Zombi in 2003 by guitarist Paavo Härkönen and vocalist Ville Vuorinen. In the beginning, the music was heavily inspired by Six Feet Under, later shifting perhaps to a more brutal approach and a style closer to Cannibal Corpse.

Lacking a drummer, the two-man project made their first songs using a drum machine and released them on the most popular Finnish website for free music, Mikseri.net. After four released songs, the popularity of The Zombi in Mikseri.net had already grown to such measures that Paavo and Ville decided to seek members for a full line-up and finally make The Zombi something that could be considered a real band.

After completing the line-up in 2005, intense band practicing begun. Alas, problems occured shortly and The Zombi had no choice but to let two of the new members go. Only drummer Aki Kuusinen (also the drummer of the metal band SinKing) remained and The Zombi now consisted of three members, missing a bassist and a second guitarist. During these times also legal issues occured, as The Zombi was threatened by a lawsuit from Relapse Records and had to change their name from Zombi to The Zombi (Relapse Records has a band called Zombi).

In late 2006, the recordings of Appetite for Flesh began in Pirkanmaa Polytechnic, in which Paavo was studying music producing at the time. Due to several non-relevant reasons, the production process was painstakingly slow and the EP wasn't released until June 2007. Before the release The Zombi also made an appearance on Heavy Karaoke: Basement Tapes Vol 1 DVD with the song "In the Cellar".

In late summer 2007, the band was joined by Ville Ryöti (bass) and Janne Rönkkö (guitar). First gigs were played and new songs were written. In 2008, Andre Lindgren replaced Janne Rönkkö.
