Biography

Heavily inspired by the American death metal scene of the time, and band's such as Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse and Deeds Of Flesh, ANTROPOFAGUS fleshed out its debut installment in 1999, having earlier released a demo CD. "No Waste Of Flesh" marks the only album issued via Beyond Productions and is looked back at with nostalgia by fans of the band, who've embraced it with a 'cult status'. The group went on a hiatus in 2002, from which it recovered several years later with a new line-up, featuring guitarist Francesco Montesanti, drummer Davide Billia, bassist Jacopo Rossi and Tya. The newly assembled personnel signed to Comatose Music and put out the split "Torso Trauma", followed by the sophomore, Clive Barker & Benjamin Christensen-inspired album, "Architecture of Lust". The album netted high-scoring reviews in Metal Hammer, Terrorizer, Rock Hard and Legacy magazines, a spot among Sick Drummer Magazine's top 15 drumming albums, and live shows with Behemoth, Marduk, Carcass, Deicide and Gojira, to name a few. The band's third and last installment, "M.O.R.T.E.", was preceded and followed by numerous festival appearances, including Brutal Assault, Barroselas Metal Fest, Neurotic Deathfest, Deathfest Open Air and Las Vegas Death Fest. The five-year gap that arouse since the release of "M.O.R.T.E." not only saw the band hone its on-stage presence, but also served as writing time. ANTROPOFAGUS's next album - first to feature vocalist Paolo Chiti - is fast approaching.
