Coprofago is a technical death metal band formed in Santiago, Chile, in June 1993. The name of the band is taken from Greek "copro", or "feces", and "fago", meaning "eat." Sebastián Vergara, Pablo Alvarez, Pablo Solari, and Ignacio Suit founded the band.

Biography

Coprofago was formed while all founding members were still in school. They recorded a standard death metal demo that sold out immediately, getting the attention of some magazines in Chile, but generally without good reviews.[citation needed] With the addition of Marcelo Ruiz on drums and Felipe Castro on bass, the band released 1997's Images of Despair, later 2000s Genesis, and started to get more attention. They were invited to share stage with the death metal band Krisiun, local band Criminal, and other Chilean bands. A growing reputation and praise from bands like Atheist, Darkane and even Watchtower members led to a deal with French label Sekhmet, which release the Genesis album in Europe.

A few weeks before the European release, Marcelo and subsequently Pablo moved to Sweden, which led the band to a period of inactivity until mid 2003, when they came back and started to write the music for their following album, Unorthodox Creative Criteria, released on July 2005. The album was a rather uncommon mixture of death metal with progressive rock bordering at times on jazz fusion.
