A Brazilian band that mixed thrash, black, and death metal with lyrics drawing from local writers and social themes.
For a sense of their sound, 'A Cobra Fumou' has that anthem quality they became known for. 'Satã Clama Metal' from their top songs gives you the heavy riff-driven side.
They formed in São Paulo in 1988 and developed a sound that pulled from thrash, black, and death metal. Their first album 'Mercado das Almas' came out in 1995, with the track 'A Cobra Fumou' becoming something of an anthem for them. Some critics at the time took issue with the directness of their words, but the band kept going.
They started playing shows in smaller venues around São Paulo. After 'Mercado das Almas' in 1995, they put out two more albums, 'Avante' in 1997 and 'Raça' in 1999. Songs like 'Cavaleiro Negro' and 'Minha Droga É O Metal' show the kind of heavy, riff-driven work they were doing through that period.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
