A Brazilian band that faced police trouble for their heavy songs but never stopped making music.
If you want to hear what they're about, 'Luzes de Neon' and '7 Reasons' give you that mix of melody and rough texture. They never really softened the edges.
In 1989, their track 'Avante' got them briefly arrested after being accused of encouraging violence against police. That incident tells you something about the territory they worked in - heavy subjects, rough edges, a willingness to push. Songs like '7 Reasons' and 'Blood Of My Blood' show they kept that same confrontational energy across decades.
They formed in 1985 after Flagelador broke up, with Lúcio Flávio as frontman. Albums like 'Cemitério dos Vivos' in 1988 and 'Maldita' in 1996 came out while musicians like guitarists Roberto Tales and Marcelo Mello came and went. They were still putting out work like 'A Trilogia do Medo' in 2016.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
