Editor's note

Realidade Cruel, São Paulo's raw hardcore document.

A blunt, unfiltered voice from the city's streets, active since the late 1980s.

For a quick sense of their tone, try 'Reciclando Frustrações' or 'Efeito Colateral'. It's all there in the title.

Their music channeled the raw energy of hardcore and punk with lyrics that spoke plainly about life in São Paulo. Songs like 'Reciclando Frustrações' carried that direct, unfiltered quality, becoming a rough document of the time for a certain part of the scene. It's the sound of frustration turned into blunt force.

They formed in São Paulo in 1988 with João Gordo on vocals, putting out records like 'Sanguébom' in 1990 and '1964' in 1992. The lineup shifted at times, with musicians like guitarist Jorge Negretti and drummer Igor Cavalera on some recordings. By the late 1990s, they had released an acoustic album and a live record, showing different sides of the same material.

Realidade Cruel formed in São Paulo in 1988 with João Gordo on vocals. Their music channeled the raw energy of hardcore and punk, with lyrics that spoke plainly about life in the city. Songs like 'Depoimento De Um Viciado' and 'Reciclando Frustrações' carried that direct, unfiltered quality.

They put out records through the early 1990s, including 'Sanguébom' in 1990 and '1964' in 1992. The band's lineup shifted at times, with musicians like guitarist Jorge Negretti and drummer Igor Cavalera playing on some of those recordings. Their sound stayed rooted in that aggressive, straightforward approach.

By the late 1990s, they had released an acoustic album and a live record, showing different sides of the same material. The music held onto its blunt force, even in those stripped-down settings. For a certain part of the São Paulo scene, Realidade Cruel's records became a kind of rough document of the time.
