Antropofagus is a brutal death metal band hailing from Italy, renowned for their relentless sonic violence and dark thematic material. The group was formed in 1997 in Genoa by lead guitarist and songwriter, Meatgrinder, quickly establishing themselves within the extreme metal community with their potent combination of speed, technical skill, and guttural vocals. Antropofagus plunged into the underground scene through the release of their debut album, "No Waste of Flesh," in 1999, gaining them a cult following and solidifying their status as purveyors of unadulterated brutality. After a temporary disbandment, they made a triumphant return in 2011, reinvigorating their discography with fresh material and heightened intensity.

Their recent works showcase their unyielding commitment to pushing the boundaries of death metal. The single and album both titled "Origin," released in 2022, return to the forefront of their grim narrative, marrying technical prowess with gut-wrenching ferocity. Following up with "Hymns of Acrimony," likely a 2022 or 2023 release, Antropofagus continues to unleash their brand of aural devastation upon eager fans. These releases are a testament to the band's enduring presence in the metal scene, offering a complex and dense soundscape filled with the kind of visceral power that has become their hallmark. Engaging with themes that touch on the macabre and the grotesque, Antropofagus invites listeners into a realm where intensity reigns supreme, asserting their legacy within the extreme music genre.
