The SPiTEFUL

The SPiTEFUL were formed in Leiria, April 1998. Their first steps, still without a complete line-up takes us to February 2000, when the band starts to explore different sonorities, aiming to define their own identity. In July 2001, they release their first demo, self-titled, engaging in a series of live performances. The band's personal and musical growth is exponential, releasing before that year's end the single Piece of Mind.
In the following two years SPiTEFUL develop further their sonority and cohesion, putting out in 2002 the Upheaval EP, revealing a "muscled death/thrash", according to the critic. Upheaval's promotion allows the collective to perform widely in Portugal interacting indelibly with the audience and leaving indistinguishable marks (including physical ones) in every venue they play.
After a somewhat chaotic period in the life's band that eventually leads to the loss of their vocalist they enter a productive gap which ends only in 2007 after finding a new front man, boosting the bands sound to previously unexplored horizons.
The SPiTEFUL is currently preparing their first full lenght album Persuasion Through Persistence, due to be released in 2009.
