Os Catalépticos's

Catalepsy = muscular rigidity, current from many possible forms of disease (such like deep hypnosis or precocious dementia) indicating similar aspect of the one current to death. Consequence: premature burial. Usually the cataleptics end up being buried alive. The only Brazilian band to adopt the most aggressive side of Psychobilly, called by some: "Power Psychobilly". Power trio which play on the limit of speed, utilizing the bases and the instrumental simplicity of Rockabilly, like the simplified drum kit and the acoustic upright bass, coming together with a constantly distorted guitar. This formula results in an extremely fast and violent sound, where they spill insane screams that approach macabre teams, revealing the terror in all its faces. The band was born in June 1996 in the south region of Brazil, more precisely in the city of Curitiba, where the Brazilian Psychobilly developed more. It counts with integrants of some of the oldest Brazilian bands (Missionários and Os Cervejas) which made the base of the whole local psycho scene in the 80's. Since their first line up only one change occurred, going out the first drummer, Marcio Tadeu, and coming in Coxinha, which complete the group with Vlad (guitar/vocals) and Gus Tomb (Coffin-Bass). After the set up of the band, they stood one year without a concert, only rehearsing. Only in September of 1997 they started on the most important Brazilian Psychobilly festival, on the 4th Psychobilly Fest. After the debut they did in record time all the possible places to play in their region.
