INTERNAL SUFFERING was born in November 1996 from the ashes of their previous band SUFFER as a cuartet when Fabián (Vocals), Leandro (Guitars), Andrés (Bass) & Jorge (Drums) decided to play an even faster, heavier & more brutal Death Metal style.
1996 were entirely dedicated to play as many shows as they could with some of the best colombian bands. Also, in March '97 the band had the chance to play along with the respected underground US band INCANTATION during their small tour in Colombia, receiving a great acclamation from the audience. After this show, Fabián (Vocals) was kicked out of the band and was inmediately replaced by Fabio.
In September 1997, colombian death metal label CLINIC RECORDS offered the band to open for the cult thrash/death metal band SODOM during their world tour '97, which meant the biggest live-audience for the band at the moment and in the best place of Medellin, in front of 4.500 people. The band was acclaimed again, receiving very good critics & reviews, establishing as the most brutal, devastating band ever to emerge from Colombia. In the music channel MTV was catalogued as one of the most intense & brutal southamerican bands. A couple of months after this killer show, Jorge (Drums) was kicked out of the band due to irreconciliable musical differences, so drums duties were taken over by Edwin.
In March '98 the band entered the studio again to record their first album, but the result wasn't satisfactory due to the lack of experienced engineers & professional recording studios, so the band decided to wait some more time till they found a proper place to record the album. After playing some shows and rehearsing constantly, the band decided to recruit Fabio on Drums in replace of Edwin.
1999 was the time to enter the studio once again with the intention to record their long awaited CD debut "Supreme Knowledge Domain". This time the result couldn't be better so the band decided to send a sample of the recording to one of the most important Death Metal labels worldwide REPULSE RECORDS/QABALAH PRODUCTIONS who inmediately showed their interest and signed the band to release the album. The album was unleashed in September 1st. 2000 and it's selling very well worldwide.
A couple of days after having recorded the album, drummer Fabio had to leave the band, so Edwin who was the previous drummer replaced him, joining the band again.
In April 2000, the band entered the studio again to record their Promo 2000 which features three new tracks plus an improved version of their cult track "Outside Dwellers", & what you can expect is one of the most brutal shit released during the new millenium. This Promo called the attention of many labels worldwide, one was Japan's MACABRE MEMENTOS RECORDS which offered the band to release a 6 trax MCD. This release will be out in February 2001.
In November 2000, the respected spanish underground label FLESHFEAST PRODUCTIONS contacted the band and offered it to record a Split CD with the brutal american band STENCH OF DECREPITCY (formerly known as MALTHUSIA), this release promises to become the most intense, over the top Split CD ever unleashed upon men. This album will hit the streets during March 2001.
The band has also appeared in several compilations worldwide, establishing as one of the most serious, & uncompromising Death Metal forces to be reckoned with in the nowadays underground scene.
Watch out for their upcoming North American Extermination tour along with BRODEQUIN & VOMIT REMNANTS and be sure to check 'em out at the Ohio Death Fest 2001.
