Santiago, Chile (1993 – present)
Coprófago (from greek, copro: shit, fago: eat) was formed in June of 1993 in Santiago, Chile by Sebastián Vergara (guitar, vocals), Pablo Álvarez (guitar) and two friends of theirs. In November of 1994 they recorded their first demo, a 4 songs tape featuring probably the youngest kids in metal scene (their average age was about 15 at the release time). Although the demo didn’t have a good reception from the press, that tape is now sold out. In March of 1995, Marcelo entered as the definitive drummer. With this line-up they played during 1995 and 1996.
In 1997 they recorded their second album, “Images of Despair “. Before finishing the recording, the bassist left due to musical differences. Felipe Castro, old friend of Pablo and Sebastián, took his place and finished the recording. The music of this LP is faster than any previous material, but some progressive elements are present, due to Pablo´s growing interest in jazz-fusion at that time.
In band’s eyes, some of the songs in that album required a different type of voice as a complement to Sebastián’s low growls, so although IOD was almost finished in early 1998, it wasn’t released because they spent several months proving vocalists without success.
In December of ‘98 the promo single “Empty Creature ” was released, featuring Pablo’s first attempt on vocal duties. The full length would come out in September of the following year with Pablo as a definitive singer, making of Coprofago a 2-frontmen band. The response to IOD from the Metal press & media was excellent.
