Morbid Visions Arts!

Okay folks today we want to present to you another great artist. Alexander Los (also known as drummer of Sram, Warthog, Camphora Monobromata) is author of these paintings. That russian dude working in mince/punk genre, his works are pretty simple but very catchy. For more details just write to: losalexander@yandex.ru 

Baixo Calão/SRAM

Do you like some scary radioactive monsters? No? Well, the drummer of a band called Sram from Moscow really loves them. That's why he created that terrible two-headed creature that is having tasty lunch made of some poor crust punk fan.
Brazilians Baixo Calão, well, 2 years ago we did not know anything about them, but a European tour and a show at Obscene Extreme (OEF 2014) improved the situation pretty much. Today I want to review their work done together with the russian Sram. Brazilian headhunters recorded 4 tracks of some wonderful music in the studio. The material is not beautiful with its speed or ultra perfect sound quality (as in e.g. Swedish grindcore bands), but is a great mid-tempo grindcore with some raw soul. There just as much rawness in the sound as it should be; the sound is just a perfect hit for such a release. Brazilian side is only 5 minutes long, but in that 5 minutes you get a lot of fun listening to the terrible screams of vocalist mixed with sawing and slashing guitars sound.
Mince-mania finally reached Russia. Moskow guys describe the problems of homeless men, the horrors and consequences of drug absorption. And they were not too lazy to add a cover of cult americans Autopsy to their side! It's hard to tell what the music of these guys is like... there are some classic Agathoclish mince pieces, and something completely of their own identity. It all sounds very cheerful! Sometimes it sounds too much raw and guitar gets very blurry. But this is mincecore, what else can you expect? Those dudes really deserve some of your attention!

Vjölenza / Slag / Baixo Calão (Split CD)

Among a whole bunch of bills and all kinds of advertising crap in my mailbox, I've found a parcel from the French label EBC Distro/Prod. It contained this particular CD. I was twisting it in his hands for some time looking at the cover art, then listened to the bands... and I can say that this CD is a good insight into the raw Brazilian underground.

It is known that it is very hard to be first ones, either on a live gig or on a split release... But the guys from Vjölenza managed to accomplish this task successfully. Very funny stuff, I must say that guitar sound reminded me of the old thrash / hardcore punk bands of 80s, hehehe), but everything else sounds like some fine and cheerful fastcore / grindcore. Aggressive vocals, raw drums... guys did their best to record these songs, and it is certainly a plus. The end of Vjölenza's part is decorated with a track of some, probably local DJ... got a lot of fun.

Moving further down the Amazon ... Slag ... hmm do not even know what it looks like. These headhunters deliver some very cool crust/death metal (although there is probably still more crust). The advantage here is definitely powerful and consistent sound pressure and good record. Fast, raw - everything I love. At the end the guys decided to go big and played a cover of Belgian veterans from Agathocles.

Closing this split come Baixo Calão. The first thing you immediately notice the sound of these lads is not as rich and expressive as of their comrades. But they compensate with their pitch and brutal power. Thick, medium speed grindcore ... Baixo is like a bulldozer that goes through the jungle. Relentless and unstoppable. Among their tracks there is a well-known hit of Rot «Russian Roulette»

Baixo Сalao (16.03.14)

Hi there! How's the weather in sunny Brazil? That cyclone, that froze USA, didn't get to you?)

Hi , Bro ! Here we see the only Cyclone is the corruption cyclone.

I was suprised when I first saw your vocalist Leandro. And I really respect this guy, despite his physical condition he still rocks on the scene. How he ended up un Baixo Calao?

Some people still are surprised by this, however , the band does not revolve around it. He is the founder of the band , it was he who started the band and named the band, and me and he are the only member of the first training.

William, drummers were always like hot cakes and they are always playing in a bunch of different bands. So tell us, in what else band do you play?)

It is true , drummer life is hard ! I went through several bands , however , the ones that I'm playing for a long time is the Baixo calao, and WARPATH band (Thrash Metal ).
