Papangu – Lampião Rei (Repose Records)

Along comes Papangu’s second album release. I didn’t know anything about this band before the first one “Holoceno” (2021), other than the fact that they come from Brazil. “Holoceno” was a revelation. A sort of heavy and dark avant-garde romp… Continue Reading →

The Troops Of Doom – A Mass To The Grotesque (Alma Mater)

While only being recently formed in the last 4 years, the member credentials are pretty solid for this Brazilian quartet led by guitarist Jairo “Tormentor” Guedz, the former member of Sepultura in the early 80’s. Drummer Alexandre Oliveira, guitarist Marcelo… Continue Reading →

Amen Corner – Written By The Devil (Hammerheart Records)

Even ‘If Paradise is (half as nice) don’t worry that is not where we are heading. Hell is a much more likely proposition and it is unlikely when forming over 30 years ago that this Brazilian cult had any idea… Continue Reading →

Satan Worship – Satanik Overdose Of Hell (Folter Records)

This is the Third album from a black thrash band from Brazil/Germany, a truly international affair. The demonic artwork on the album cover is simple but effective, you know what you are going to hear without reading any description from… Continue Reading →

Angra – Cycle Of Pain (Atomic Fire)

30 Years. Thirty whole years have somehow passed since Brazil’s premium Progressive Power Metal band Angra released their excellent debut album “Angel’s Cry”. Three years later the stunning follow-up “Holy Land” set the bar even higher. Then, Andre Matos’ tenure… Continue Reading →

Crypta – Shades Of Sorrow (Napalm)

Brazilian Death Metal four piece Crypta are back with their second full length album ‘Shades Of Sorrow’, a 52 minute journey through the depths of the human psyche which zeroes in on the struggles in life we may face and… Continue Reading →

Grave Desecrator – Immundissime Spiritus (Various Labels)

Grab yer pick and shovel it’s time to dig deep here and see what we dredge up. Coming from Brazil the ammonia like scent of adipocere is strong and we need not cast any inspiration to nefarious tomb raider Ed… Continue Reading →

Outlaw – Reaching Beyond Assiah (AOP Records)

Damn, there’s so much black metal around fighting for attention at the moment it’s impossible to keep up. Not only that, it seems that even those that I have been unfamiliar with have been of consistent high quality recently and… Continue Reading →

Anarkhon – Obiasot Dwybat Ptnotun (Debemur Morti)

“Eight eerily hypnotic death metal nightmares” is how the label describes this album. Being Brazilian, I did check to see if the title of this album means anything in Portuguese but it doesn’t. The answer lies in the world of… Continue Reading →

Power From Hell – Shadows Devouring Light (Debemur Morti)

My favourite thing about Metal is when Metal references Metal and I can only assume that this is the case with Power From Hell. Whom if they haven’t plied their name from the Onslaught album of the same name then… Continue Reading →

Soulfly – Totem (Nuclear Blast)

The last thing necessary here is a potted history lesson about the (ahem) Roots of Soulfly and what led to their formation back in 1998. It’s well documented and has been discussed ad-nauseum. Like many bands of their ilk, it’s… Continue Reading →

Krisiun – Mortem Solis (Century Media)

Blimey it was way back in 2008 and ‘Southern Storm’ when I last reviewed a Krisiun album. It was the mid-era of the Brazilian trio I guess my interest really peeked even giving them an album of the year accolade… Continue Reading →
