The cherem hayishuv was a mechanism by which retail merchants could prevent entry of outsiders into their community.
The cherem hayishuv never appeared in Spain or Moslem countries and was strongest in those European Jewish communities in which the guild system imposed similar restrictions on Christians.
The use of the cherem hayishuv is therefore an example of a case where Judaism was greatly influenced by the surrounding culture.

I mean, the cherem is not exactly a religious act, in fact in Amsterdam it was not pronounced by the rabbis, it was pronounced by the lay governors of the community.
This is a man named Isaac de Peralta and he was put under a cherem because he had become angry at some of the leaders of the community and found them in the street, insulted them and assaulted them, and as a result of this violent act, here's the cherem that he was given.
Now as you've said, the cherem was the work of the secular governing board of the synagogue, but you're suggesting now that the rabbis were behind it.

The literature of questions to rabbis, and their considered answers, is referred to as responsa (in Hebrew, '"Sheelot U-Teshuvot".) Over time, as practices develop, codes of Jewish law are written that are based on the responsa.
Cherem is the highest ecclesiastical censure in the Jewish community.
Except in rare cases in the Ultra-Orthodox community, cherem stopped existing after the enlightenment, when local Jewish communities lost their political autonomy, and Jews were integrated into the greater gentile nations which they lived in.

 Excommunication (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools
Its germs have been found in (1) the Mosaic "ban" or "curse" (cherem, "devoted"), given over entirely to God's use or to destruction (Leviticus 27:29); (2) the "cutting off," usually by death, stoning of certain offenders, breakers of the Sabbath (Exodus 31:14) and others (Leviticus 17:4; Exo.
At the restoration (Ezra 10:7-8), the penalty of disobedience to Ezra's reforming movements was that "all his substance should be forfeited (cherem), and himself separated from the assembly of the captivity." Nehemiah's similar dealing with the husbands of heathen women helped to fix the principle.
If the offender still remained obstinate, the "curse," cherem, was formally pronounced upon him by a council of ten, and he was shut out from the intellectual, religious and social life of the community, completely severed from the congregation.

 Va’etchanan
We are told of a partially similar cherem in the context of the war which took place between Israel and the King of Arad that lived in the Negev (Bamidbar 21:1-3).
However, the cherem on the Canaanites in the Book of Devarim is fundamentally different from these dedications and sanctification; this cherem is a commandment of divine origin and not man’s free will offering and the basis of this cherem is the destruction of the Canaanite people.
The practical implementation of this cherem is explained and justified in the laws of war (Devarim 20): “In order that they not teach you to do all the abominations they do to their gods and you come to sin to Hashem your God” (verse 18).

Cherem kicks it off and aside from some major tuning problems between the guitars and the bass (causing a lot of unnecessary dissonance that clashes and makes the songs sound sloppier than they are) they're potentially decent chugga chugga styled metalcore with abrasive midrange growling/screaming vocals.
Truth be Told closes much the way Cherem opened up with relatively midpaced, simple metalcore that's heavy on the metal but never really strays too far from the mosh.
Bring it Down is really good and deserves a better recording, Aftermath of a Trainwreck is alright and could be pretty destructive under better circumstances, and Cherem needs to keep practicing to reach their full potential.

This Positive Mitzvah tells us that if a person declares an object or animal as Cherem, this means that he is vowing to set this object or animal aside for holy use.
Any possession that a person declares to be "Cherem," is "taboo" and cannot be used by him anymore.
The objects or possessions considered "Cherem" are given to the priests and become theirs to use as they see fit (see Positive Mitzvah 145).

Cherem is an Old Testament (Hebrew) term for something that is holy and set apart to God.
In Joshua 6:17-19, God had described Jericho as cherem — it was Israel's first-fruits in battle and possession, and as such, should be set apart to God.
Achan, however, disregarded God's warning and took part of this cherem for himself, hidding the golden idol in his tent.

The Baal Shem Tov had not revealed the purpose of his trip but R' Wolf learned that it had something to do with the cherem (excommunication) that the townspeople of Brod intended to place upon the Baal Shem Tov and his followers, having judged him and found him wanting.
"For a cherem one needs to include a large group of wise Torah scholars." He then went on to tell of the scholarly beggar he had met the night before.

I think the baby-killing command is part of the cherem - the process by which Yahweh designates a particular city or people for consecration to him by total destruction.
Cherem means "ban" because the Israelites are forbidden from partaking in any spoils of the conquest - everything must be destroyed.
Apparently cherem is one aspect of holy war, so it could be ordered by priestly authority outside of the context of war.

Additionally, this Cherem was issued as a "fence", to insure that the Torah laws not be violated, as is stated in the Teshuvos Chassam Sofer (Even HaEzer Siman 3).
In the words of the Ramban (in his commentary at the end of Parshas Bechukosai), such a Cherem is a "Cherem D'Oraysoh" - is given the status of a Torah law, in which case we may not be lenient even in a case of doubt.
Therefore, this Cherem must also be considered a "Cherem D'Oraysoh", and one must be stringent regarding it even in a case of doubt, as stated above.

In general, the mitzva of cherem was aimed at a certain city (as in the examples cited above), and therefore its period of validity was restricted: once the city was exterminated, the war of cherem against it was over.
In a few instances, one thing was left for all generations from the war of cherem: the burnt mound of the city.
The war with Amalek is one of complete cherem, but since Amalek is a nomadic nation, their destruction is not like the destruction of a city: it is not a one-time act, but rather an ongoing battle "from generation to generation."

 Nadler Steven - Spinoza's Heresy: Immortality and the Jewish Mind - Reviewed by Martin Lin, University of Toronto - ...
The cherem was frequently employed by the Jewish community in Amsterdam in Spinoza’s day, but the one directed at Spinoza was and remains the harshest and most unforgiving.
Spinoza’s cherem is as vague as it is venomous, alleging no specific charges beyond “evil opinions and acts,” “abominable heresies,” and “monstrous deeds.” And yet their answers seem obvious because anyone familiar with Spinoza’s mature philosophical views will know that he denies any number of points of Jewish orthodoxy, e.g.
I think, however, it would be fair to add that those commentators, such as Donagan and Wolfson, who think that Spinoza does have a robust notion of personal immortality, can and do accommodate these aspects of Spinoza’s moral and religious thought.
