FESTERING started out in mid '92 in Santo António dos
Cavaleiros, Portugal. It was put together as a side project by Koja
(bass & vocals), Paulo Rodrigues (guitar & vocals) and Zé-Tó
(drums & vocals), all members of EXTREME UNCTION. After some time
composing and rehearsing some material, they released a split tape with
MORBID SYMPHONY containing the song "Proliferation of Infected
Leucocytes". The musical style was Gore/Grind, heavily influenced by
CARCASS.
The project had to be put aside due to EXTREME UNCTION's heavy
schedule but was something that the members wanted to pick up again.
Unfortunately, both Paulo and Zé-Tó disappeared from the music scene,
leaving FESTERING orphaned. Fortunately, Pedro Gonçalves (vocals - also
ex-EXTREME UNCTION, long time friend and vocalist of other common
projects) teamed up with Koja and convinced him to wait for the right
moment to restart the band, while they both worked on new material. It
wasn't until 2011 that the stars finally aligned and João Dinis
(Guitars) - guess what? Also an ex-member of EXTREME UNCTION! - joined
the fold and together they recorded a demo in a musical style closer to
Death Metal bands like ENTOMBED, DISMEMBER, DEATH, BOLT THROWER, etc.
but keeping the old influences as well.
Now that new member Norberto (AKA: Beto) Arrais (drums) from FILII
NIGRANTIUM INFERNALIUM, has joined the ranks. It was with this lineup
that finally, in 2013, simultaneously two new works were launched: a
demo-tape “From the grave” and a very limited edition of 7 ” EP called ”
Exhumed “, both through the War Production label.
