Release Notes:
Concealment are a band based on Sintra,Portugal. Playing a blend of Progressive
Death metal with Grind Core since 1995.
Path
Concealment were formed in Sabugo, a small place near Sintra in 1995. The
musical style of this band consists of a complex dissonant guitar work, off-time
polyrhythmic drummings, unconventional 9 string bass lines and a expressive
bleak vocal style. The Concealment lyrics theme are based in the coldness of the
modern world, the desperation of present and next generations.
1995
The original line-up of the group consisted of Luis Martins voice/guitar, Pedro
Machuco bass, Filipe Correia guitar, David Jeronimo drums. The band were
initially inspired by Death/Grind bands like Napalm Death, Carcass, Morbid
Angel; and by the experimental/progressive bands like King Crimson, Emerson Lake
and Palmer, the earlier Pink Floyd...

glimpse of everything to came. In that year the group toured with the Portuguese
Death Metal band Sacred Sin and the Spanish Hard Core band Dismal.
