Offal

Offal formed in the late 1990s, though details about their origins are sparse. Their debut album 'Putr-essence' came out in 2003, which included the track of the same name. The music drew from death metal and grindcore, creating a heavy, abrasive sound that found an audience in the underground extreme metal scene.

Their lyrics often dealt with morbid and graphic themes, which led to criticism from some listeners and conservative groups. Songs like 'Torso' and 'W.H.O.R.E.' continued in this vein, with unflinching subject matter matched by aggressive instrumentation.

Offal maintained a relatively low public profile despite the attention their work received. They kept making music that stayed true to their initial vision without much concern for broader acceptance or commercial appeal.
