2008: André Luiz, Eduardo Tobe, Tersis Zonato, João Carlos Ongaro
The whole activity began on the middle of 2002, when André Luiz started a side-project with some of his friends (Angela Jornada and Carlos Eduardo). During that time, things didn’t happen like they wanted. So, the initial line-up lasted for only a few rehearsals. Some months later, they decided to revive the band with Chrystian Mass joining in. Being huge fans of the legendary band Autopsy (certainly the biggest Offal’s influence), they decided to call the project 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, things didn’t happen the way they wanted. So, the band broke-up after its first gig. Some months later, André Luiz, Chrystian Mass and Daniel de Azevedo decided to resume the band’s activities but on a brand new way. So, at the end of 2003, Offal officially raise-up!
After the reformulation of the entire band, they start to rehearse and (de)compose new songs. On July 2004, they recorded their 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 I Shit On Your Face. For this special occasion, Tersis Zonato was invited to play bass. However, because of some personal troubles, he couldn’t. Therefore, João Carlos Ongaro played on his place and after this gig, Daniel de Azevedo left the band. The stuff that was recorded before was kept hidden for sometime. Just a few copies were made for some close friends. Finally, on January 2006, the recordings saw the light of day or I should say, the darkness of night. They were sent to a new Brazilian label called The Hole Productions, which immediately decided to release the 1st official Offal’s recording. On July of the same year, Offal’s debut full-length CD was officially released: Offal (The Hole Productions / Brazil – 2006).
Unfortunately on July 2007, after four years, Chrystian Mass left Offal! So, 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). Nowadays, the band has been working hard to finish the new songs for the upcoming 2nd full-length album and for an upcoming split 7″EP.
The line-up that stands today is: André Luiz – Vocals, Eduardo Tobe – Drums, João Carlos Ongaro – Bass; Tersis Zonato – Guitars / Backing vocals.
