Биография : Offal

The whole activity has begun on the mid of the 2002, when André Luiz started a side-project with some of his local friends (Angela Jornada & Carlos Eduardo). On that time the things didn't happen like they wanted and that intent was not far beyond of some rehearsals.

Some months later, they had some line-up changes : Chrystian Mass has joined the band and the things started to go on. Huge fans of the legend Autopsy (Certainly the main Offal's influence ever !), like the other members Daniel de Azevedo and Carlos Eduardo, the project was originally named as "Orgy In Excrements", an homage to the band and to the great Autopsy's Acts Of The Unspeakable album song title.

Unfortunately, as the time was passing by, the things didn't happen how they wanted and the band broke-up after its first gig. Some months later, André Luiz, Chrystian Mass and Daniel de Azevedo decided to re-start the band's activities but on a brand new way. So, preciously at the 2003's end, Offal officially raise-up !

After the whole band reformulation, they start to rehearse and (de)compose new songs, so on July 2004 they recorded its first stuff. With all things happening on a cool way, they did the 1st Offal's gig on October 2004 beside some great Brazilian names such as Flesh Grinder and Osculum Obscenum. For this special occasion, Tersis Zonato was invited to play bass, but for some personal troubles he couldn't play on that gig, so João Ongaro did. After this gig, Daniel de Azevedo left the band, so the newest and actual Offal's line-up has : André Luiz - Vocals, Chrystian Mass - Drums, João Ongaro - Bass & Tersis Zonato - Guitar / Vocals.

The stuff recorded before was kept some time "hidden" and without any divulgation, just some few copies were made for some local friends. So, on January 2006, the stuff was sent to a new Brazilian label and after got the Offal's stuff, the label immediately decided to release the 1st official Offal's stuff. In July of the same year, the Offal's debut full-length CD was officially released. Offal s/t (The Hole Productions / Brazil - 2006).

Unfortunately, on July 2007, after four years, Chrystian Mass left Offal. On September, Eduado Tobe has joined to the activities as the new drummer !

After some delay, Offal put out a split MCD with the Aussie freaks Bowel Fetus also via the same label on September 2008 : Offal / Bowel Fetus (The Hole Productions / Brasil – 2008).

Following the 2nd full-length release, Offal also have released two other stuffs : a split 7″ep with the japanese Anatomia and a split 12″ maxi-single LP with the U.S. Decrepitaph.

Nowadays the band keep promoting the newest material and is currently working on some new stuff for future releases, watch out !
