Editor's note

O Inimigo, São Paulo's raw metal constant

A Brazilian underground band that kept its aggressive edge through lineup shifts and DIY recordings.

For a quick sense of their style, 'O Veneno' and 'Alzheimer' are the tracks to hear. They capture that unvarnished, relentless approach the band never lost.

O Inimigo's sound never softened, even as members came and went. Songs like 'O Veneno' and 'Alzheimer' delivered a blunt, unfiltered energy that defined Brazil's late-80s metal underground. They worked without polish, and that roughness gave their music its bite.

They started in São Paulo in 1986, with João Gordo always on vocals. Their first album 'Perturbado' arrived in 1990, followed by others like 'Subconsciente Coletivo' through the decade. The band's history is one of frequent changes, but the core aggression stayed put.
