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 started 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, the first

drummer, Marcio Tadeu left the band, and Coxinha completed the group again with Vlad (guitar/vocals) and Gus Tomb (Coffin-Bass).

It took one year rehearsing before they got their first live gig.

Bu then in September 1997 they gave their first Live appearance on the most important Brazilian Psychobilly festival, on the 4th Psychobilly Fest. After this debut they played in all possible places in their region within a record time.

In the same year, they signed the contract to play on the biggest Psychobilly festival in the

world, on the 10th Big Rumble, in England, where they played on the same

stage with bands like The Meteors, Guana Batz, Frenzy, Long Tall Texans,

Restless, Los Gatos Locos and more.

The participation on this festival gave them the opportunity  to be on 2 compilations (Rumble Party Vol.6 and The Best of Fury Psychobilly)on tht English label Fury Records , and after that to record their debut CD.

When they returned to Brazil, they passed January and February in the

studio. In March 1998  their first CD, called "Little Bits of Insanity" was already recorded.

The CD which released in England stayed during seven months between the 3 Top seller CD's of the British distributing

label Nervous Records. The good repercussion of their first CD permitted the

return to Europe in 98, where the band was again in the line-up, now at the

11th Big Rumble.

In the year 1999 the band played a lot in Brazil, mainly in the capital

cities of the South and Southeast region, and some cities of the interior of

the states of Paraná, Santa Catarina and São Paulo.

Again in the studio, on the second semester they recorded their newer

release, the 7" EP and M-CD, From Beyond the Grave!!!, released in the end

of 99, in Japan by the Revel Yell Music label. Besides this release, the

band participated in 99 in two more international compilations released in

Germany by the labels Black Sky and Crazy Love Records

On the second semester of 2000, the Brazilian label Barulho Records

re-released in Brazil their first CD Little Bits Of Insanity.

Still in the same time they did a tour in Europe, that passed

through 5 countries. The CD "Zombification" was released, by the

German label Crazy Love Records, which later was re-released in Brazil in

the beginning of 2001, by Barulho Records.

Os Catalépticos may record a new CD soon. This CD may be alive.
