Founded in August/1999, Goreslave appears to join at the Death-Underground scene, with the following line-up: Paulo Fernando (Bass), Letácio Tavares (Guitars) and Messias Júnior (Drums and Vocals). After some months of intense rehersals, the band record the first demo in December/1999, entitled into the abyss. Soon after the recording sessions, Paulo Fernando leaves the band and José Lima assume the bassist post. Released in July/2000, the good acceptation of into the abyss in the Underground scenery produces important contacts around the world, where the material is distributed for a lot of countries, resulting in the participation of metal compilations (Rock Soldiers vol. 5) and a lot of shows in some cities on Brazil.

In 2003, the last copies of into the abyss were distributed. Meanwhile, the band writes the first full-length album, previously called Merciless Bloodshed. But the bad winds has come to the group. In december of the same year, is diagnosticated a tumour in José Lima. The frightful notice of his disease worried all band mates, and his death, 6 months later, leads the band to stop the activities, including the recording sessions, postponed the release of Merciless Bloodshed album. An eternal brother of great fights losts the battle against cancer in June/2004. Some months later a new bassist player join in the group. His name, Edílson Lyma. In August/2005, is time to Letácio Tavares go away from the band, to dedicate his time in new projects and purposes. In your place, good winds bring Cyro Correia, another young guitar player and an old Goreslave fan. With fresh blood and reloaded forces, the group now follow in intense battle to record and release the first album. In March/2005, Messias Júnior bring to life another project to the group: The Symbolic Records and Productions.

With this label, Goreslave re-release the into the abyss demo with 4 new songs, recorded live in 2000 with José Lima, his last register in the group. This release comes with a new cover art, totally remastered songs and in CD format, like a hommage to the dead brother José Lima, that had a dream: record and release an album with his group.

Speaking about themes of human and spiritual natures, Goreslave uses the life and its traps to get inspiration. The name "Goreslave" is an alusion to the form how the mankind leads itself through the times, transforming the actions and thoughts in a state of slavery, imprisoned by dogmas and outdated inheritances, absorbing the imperfections and alienations of a sick humanity in its essence. Fighting for the Underground union, Goreslave performs a Brutal Death Metal, fast, morbid and extreme, but with melodic and heavy roots. With a new line-up and new material, Goreslave walks to the divulgation of its works and purposes.
