Editor's note

Face da Morte, São Paulo hardcore with a political edge

A Brazilian hardcore band formed in 1989, known for raw sound and socially charged lyrics.

For their sound, try 'Bomba H.' To get their perspective, 'Rap É o Som da Paz' works.

They carved out a space in the Brazilian hardcore scene with albums like 'Adoração à Morte' in 1991. Songs such as 'Bomba H' and 'Rap É o Som da Paz' delivered their message with distorted guitars and Jimmy Joe's aggressive vocals. Their lyrics on injustice and life in the margins sometimes led to censorship, keeping them grounded in the underground.

The band started in São Paulo in 1989 and released their first album two years later. They put out more records in the mid-90s like 'Desespero,' with Jimmy Joe remaining the constant member through lineup shifts. They've stayed active in hardcore circles, influencing other acts without seeking mainstream attention.
