The Portuguese blackned death metal band Congruity, first introduced this track "Shattered" as a preview before the debut of their most recent EP of the same name, released on 17th February 2020.
Congruity were formed in the year of 2000, in Abrantes, Santarém, from the ashes of Scale of Justice and goth metal band Edenial Lust, and their original line-up consisted of Hugo Alexandre Rodrigues (drums), Paulo "Lecas" Marcos (guitars & vocals), Geist (guitars), Quim (bass) and Tânia (keybords).
The band launched their first material in 2001, the demo "Equilibrium", followed by a second demo 2 years later "The Underworld", featuring a slight line-up change, now with Victor Hugo Sapage on bass instead of Quim.
The line-up would change again in 2004, with Tânia leaving the band and Jorge André joining in for guitar duties, placing Lecas solely focused on vocals, which resulted on a more agressive sound from this point onwards.
Then in the year that followed, a new demo is released "Rupture", and Congruity went hard on the live scene, performing around 60 gigs through Portugal.
In 2007, Lecas leaves the band and Victor becomes both the bassist and vocalist, this while on a long 10 year gap without introducing new stuff. Finally in 2015, with Congruity presenting themselves as a trio, after the recent leave of Geist, the demo "Rupture" was re-edited and launched as an EP, recorded and mixed by Jorge and Victor at Rotten Garage Studios in their hometown of Abrantes.
This re-edition also included the track "Falling from my Heart", which was featured on their first demo "Equilibrium", and the track "The Underworld" has former member Lecas on vocals.
Later, the 15th December of 2018 was for sure a very special day for Congruity, as they released their first full-length album of the same name, via the label BoneSaw Entertainment.
Nowadays, with the band's line-up still up to the same trio, featuring Hugo (the only original member), Jorge and Victor, Congruity performs regularly in Portuguese ground, having already flyed to Madeira island in November 2018, where they exclusively presented first hand in Funchal, their new album that was yet to be introduced the following month.
Also earlier this year, on 7th March, they were one of the bands that performed at XXXapada Morbid Sessions II in Lisbon, being the only Portuguese act of the event, sharing the stage of RCA Club with Aklash, Necronautical, Nader Sadek and Akercocke.
About their latest work, the EP "Shattered" was again released under the label BoneSaw, and it's available for digital purchase on their official Bandcamp (check the link bellow). A physical CD version is also available, but on a split format with label partners Hate Disposal from Leiria, namely along with their most recent EP "Legacy".
