Emerging from the remote land of Penafiel - DISTROFIA is one of the bands that left a mark on the Portuguese underground scene.
Known for their Grindcore / Punk dirty, raw, rotten, and minimalist, in the vein of Agathocles, Rot, and Old Napalm Death (From Enslavement To Obliteration era)...
They started their activity in 2005, recording a series of rehearsal tapes keeping their entity well and underground spirit explicit during their existence. The only split known among the masses is a Split with Agathocles, the rest I can assure you is scattered in the right gutters.
DISTROFIA had a series of line-ups with personnel from known projects in the Minho area within the punk/death/grind scenes, leading to a hiatus in 2009.
In 2020, Tózé decided to reactivate the project looking for permanent members to help him bring back the old hateful essence of what is really GRINDCORE!
After several conversations where alcohol was the right choice to wet the word, comes the idea of inviting Céd (Gorgasmico Pornoblastoma, Drenagem, Disfigured Human Mind, Insolencia....), to join the project.

After 2 years DISTROFIA is active, each time more dirty and noisy than it was before, counting with a new demo coming out late this year, called "DEMOPHOBIA" and a compilation album of all rehearsals since 2005 being recorded to come out soon called "RECICLAGEM"!
Line-up:
Tózé - Drums / Vocals
Céd - Guitar / Vocals
You can listen here to an old song "Epidemia" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T5I4PVy7lE&ab_channel=cargainfernal
Grindcore is alive in Portugal because DISTROFIA..... is not dead!
