2009: ANTROPOFAGO is born, mere project, at the time, of guitarist and composer Gordon Huillery (ex-Repudiate, Surgery). By hiring musicians, the projet became a band and quickly, an eponymous 4 track demo came to light in 2010, with Melmoth The Wanderer (ex-Cryptic Reborn) on vocals. The videoclip of the song «Ravenous» was shot a few months later. As the band played its first concerts, and its line up stabilized itself step by step, it also gained in maturity. Webzines reception of the eponymous demo was unanimous : The band definitly has potential, which would acquire full significance through a better production. ANTROPOFAGO then plays concert after concert, and works on the creation of «Beyond Phobia», its first album. Brasilian Label Miceli Records then contacts them to distribute their music. When «Beyond Phobia» swept on the web in early 2011, it was 12 tracks of rare brutality that struck the online world, and some found this album very good (19/20 on
Metalsickness.com). ANTROPOFAGO got back on stage unabated, and shared the spotlight with international bands (Hate – Poland, Vesania – Poland, Ulcerate – New Zealand, Nefarium – Italy, Otargos – France, Insain – France, Svart Crown – France, Livarkahil – France, Demented – France, Mercyless – France, Morgue - France, Blazing War Machine – France, etc...). On 2012 November 1st, ANTROPOFAGO annonces the signature of a multi-album deal with Kaotoxin Records, and the same day, the EP "between Fear And Madness" is launched. 2013, January: The first album «Beyond Phobia» reissued under Kaotoxin. At the moment, the band is recording a second album.
