Putrid Offal Reforms And Signs With Kaotoxin

Kaotoxin Records has checked in with the following announcement about signing a deal with Putrid Offal:

"Kaotoxin is extremely proud to announce the inking of a multi-album deal with recently re-activated legendary goregrind / grindcore band from France, Putrid Offal!

"Twenty five years ago or so, one of the very first French grindcore bands (along Blockheads, Inhumate, etc.) was born from the sick minds of Ludovic Loez (Supuration / SUP), Franck Peiffer and Frédéric Houriez. It was 1990 and Putrid Offal was one of, if not the, very first goregrind acts ever to emerge from France.

"A first demo, 'Unformed,' is quickly released (1990) and the band starts getting the attention of the worldwide Grindcore underground. This will result in their 'At the Sight of the Foul Offal…' split 7? EP with Grinding legends Agathocles (Skin Drill / Seraphic Decay, 1991). Lots of tracks appear on lots of compilations worldwide (like on 'Appointment with Fear' -Cyber Music- from the Netherlands or 'Bllleeeeaaauuurrrrgghhh!' from the cult Slap-A-Ham US label).

"Due to the growing recognition his main band is getting and the involvement it implies, Ludovic Loez leaves the band and is quickly replaced by Boris Reisdorff (Nocturnal Fears) before Putrid Offal enter the studio again to record what will become their cult 'Premature Necropsy' split LP with Switzerland’s Exculceration (Wimp / Adipocere). Up to this day, this record is still selling on eBay at prices always exceeding one hundred euros at a very minimum on LP!

"The band embarks on various tours around Europe (with most notable and memorable stops in Belgium and Germany) and is then recruited by France’s Underground records to record new material for a forthcoming compilation CD of bands from Northern France, 'Obscurum Per Obscurius' (1993), which also hardly sells below € 100.00 on eBay these days.

"In 1994, due to musical differences, Boris leaves the band which decides to redefine its sound and, rejoined by Ludovic Loez, is experimenting with a more industrial approach, including a drum-machine, and consequently changes its name to M.PHERAL (which would record an EP and two full-lengths, only one of which has been released). M.PHERAL would also disband in the second half of the nineties.

"In 2013, twenty years after its last recording, Frédéric Houriez and Franck Peiffer, joined by Philippe Reinhalter (Division Alpha) are re-animating Putrid Offal’s dead flesh and start rehearsing and recording some material.

"Kaotoxin is consequently extremely proud to announce that the reactivated legends have been re-recording ALL of their back-catalogue along with bonus stuff. The result is absolutely mind-blowing and will completely delight old Putrid Offal fans as well as definitely chop new heads!

"The yet untitled release, which will be mastered at the Conkrete Studio (Otargos, We All Die (laughing)) will come as a 1000 copies limited edition first press as a double DigiSleeve CD with a remastered collection of all of the band’s past works as they’ve been released back in the day (next press will not feature the 'old-school version') making this a killer opportunity for PUTRID OFFAL fans to witness how monstrously rotten the Putrid Offal corpse got during its 20 years of standing still six feet underground! Expect anything but a MONSTRUOUS comeback! All hail the walking dead!"
