Complete Failure, also known as "ComFail", is an American hardcore punk band from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

History

In late 2007, Complete Failure signed to Supernova Records, where they recorded Perversions of Guilt, which is recorded, mixed, and mastered by Steve Austin, a label owner and Today Is the Day frontman. From March to July 2008, Complete Failure toured the United States, Canada, and Europe alongside Today Is the Day and others, playing over 100 shows.

In April 2009, Complete Failure self-recorded and self-released their sophomore full-length album, Heal No Evil. In May 2009, they toured with the Relapse Records band, Antigama. Relapse Records then re-released Heal No Evil after the first versions sold out entirely.

Style and influences

Complete Failure's sound varies from droning rhythms to high-tempo grindcore, designed to disorient the listener. The band’s influences come from underground punk and metal artists, including Terrorizer, Napalm Death, Lock Up, Repulsion, His Hero Is Gone, Neurosis, Darkthrone, and Mayhem.
