Brazilians
are very friendly people. This split especially, shows the tightness of their
fraternal ties. These four Brazilian bands came together to honor the memory of
their dead brother Antonio Ambrozio and I’d like to take the chance to join
them with the memory, rest in peace my friend...
Four
crazy bands must be packed in a suitable packaging. Well, I must say that this
artwork was executed very skillfully. The artist made his best and
realistically conveyed the madness which destroys a person from the inside. But
let’s move from the visual part, it`s time to check the music out. The Cachorroda Duença plays first. Hmm, this stuff has a good and steady sound pressure...
in their grindcore they interweave a good dose of old good and smelly death
metal. The whole sound is a little bit raw. In fact, all the instruments and
even the vocals remind me of the atmosphere of the ‘90s that will surely please
fans of the old ways. Up next, 6 tracks by the Baga collective. Here we can
hear a much more modern sound and the whole material is more aggressive too.
The songs are fast and sharp. The rhythms, however, are not so smooth, but
still very angry... It`s obvious that these guys belong more to the new
grindcore wave. Next is Nosso Ódio Irá Atacar. These guys are pretty noisy but
their music is pleasant to me. It’s good old school death metal with additions
of vicious grindcore. Mid-tempo rhythms are dominating and they will press the
listener with their weight. At the end of their part they also play a cover of
Extreme Noise Terror. Last but not least comes Plague Rages. Oh... what a fury!
What's going on with this singer?! It seems like he’s about to spit his own
guts out :) Besides the crazy vocals, I enjoy the nice buzzing guitar and the
strong rhythm section. Like in the older times, Plague Rages do not deviate
from their course; like in the older times, they are still playing oldschool
grindcore (many love them for that). There’s also a small bonus track hidden at
the end, but I won’t tell you about it. Discover it yourself! :)
