SACRILEGE - BEHIND THE REALMS OF MADNESS [REISSUE]
When Sacrilege announced their return to the stage, I was quite happy with this news. Well, the band is of great importance and is one of the pillars for what is now called metallic crust. "Behind The Realms Of Madness" is an excellent album released in 1985 and in 2015 Sacrilege reissued this classic album. With better production, the old songs have become more powerful than they already were. Sure, it's always a pleasure to hear "Shadow From Mordor", "At Death's Door" and "The Closing Irony" at full volume no matter the year in which these songs were recorded. This release also included the "Demo I" released in 1986, plus two live tracks. The two new songs are "Feed" (this song is heavy and this is thrash metal) and "Dig Your Own Grave" (typical hardcore song, fast and loud). Cover art is a brilliant work by Andy Lefton (War//Plague, Tau Cross). I like that and it would be very interesting to hear a new album with new songs.

KILLING JOKE - PYLON
I may even be exaggerating but "Pylon" is one of the best albums made by Killing Joke. "Pylon" follows the same road started in 2003 with launch of the self-titled album. Apocalyptic industrial metal and contagious is what you will hear on this album, as well as influences and punk vibrations. I highlight the following tracks "Euphoria", "War On Freedom", "Big Buzz", "I Am Virus" and "Into The Unknown". Regarding the cover art automatically I associated the sun to the Aztec calendar (Sun Stone), but pylon is associated with ancient Egypt and is an image of two hills between which the sun rose every day (I admit I did not know what it means pylon and research to learn more about it). Coincidence? Perhaps. This is particularly suitable for admirers of Amebix and Fear Factory. Very good!

PATHOLOGIC NOISE - GORE ABERRATION
Pathologic Noise is a classic underground band from Minas Gerais. With little more than twenty years on the scene, the band released three demo tapes and two albums. In this case, "Gore Aberration" is the second album released by Pathologic Noise and is without doubt the best record of the band. Of course, "Sodomy and Delight on Flesh" is a good album but "Gore Aberration" is far superior in all aspects. In other words, this new album is at the same level of Cannibal Corpse (great reference in this work), for example. I should mention that the cover art is another brilliant work done by Kelson Frost. One of the best albums produced in 2015 is a pretty rotten music.

KYLESA - EXHAUSTING FIRE
Kylesa is a band that is difficult to say a specific musical style. Many people say it's sludge, others say it is progressive music and so on. The band has a unique style to create music and this is undeniable. To simplify, I say that Kylesa is an experimental metal band, without this blah blah blah told by "intellectual metalheads". "Exhausting Fire" was released in 2015 and is a good album. Composed of eleven tracks, I highlight "Moving Day", "Lost and Confused" (the best track), "Shaping the Southern Sky" (this song is influenced by Black Sabbath), "Growing Roots" and "Paranoid" (Black Sabbath cover, really interesting). Well, the only negative factor is that this album is not better than "Ultraviolet", for example.

GRAVESITE - HORRIFYNG NIGHTMARES...
When I did the review of the first demo of Gravesite, I said that the band was influenced by Swedish and Dutch bands. Well then, this influence still continues but this first album I add Autopsy as a great reference in this work. "Horrifying Nightmares..." is a good death metal album, which will please lovers of the genre and especially the Autopsy fans. In other words, "Horrifying Nightmares..." is the perfect soundtrack for horror movies.

TERVEET KÄDET - LAPIN HELVETTI
Terveet Kädet is one of my favorite bands and "Lapin Helvetti" was released in 2015 and is excellent as usual. My favorite track on this album is "Brutaali". Friend, it is not necessary to write a long text for this other masterpiece of Finnish hardcore. Simply great!

BOOK OF DAEDRA / RÜTÄBÄGÄ - SPLIT
Book of Daedra is a black metal band and Rütäbägä is also a black metal band with crust punk influence. Well, both bands are very raw. Anyway, Sarcófago launched "I.N.R.I." in the 80s and the recording made by Brazilian is infinitely superior.

NAPALM DEATH - LIVE CORRUPTION [FULL LIVE SHOW]
MELHOR FITA CASSETE DE TODOS OS TEMPOS!!!
A primeira vez que escutei a Napalm Death foi através do álbum "Utopia Banished" (LP) e automaticamente gravei isso em k7 para ouvir no walkman. Mas quando eu assisti “Live Corruption” posso dizer que a minha vida mudou. Esse vídeo definiu uma postura e um estilo de vida pra mim. Inclusive essa fita serviu de base para montar uma banda em 2004 chamada Zás-Trás, da qual queríamos ser como Napalm Death e Discharge ao mesmo tempo. Nunca mais tive notícias do Gabriel (Aracaju) e do Raoni (Rio de Janeiro). Enfim, assistam de novo e quem nunca viu de o play agora.
THIS IS THE BEST VHS VIDEO OF ALL TIME!!!
The first time I heard Napalm Death was through the album "Utopia Banished" (LP) and automatically I recorded it on tape so I could listen on my walkman. But when I watched "Live Corruption" I can say that my life has changed. This video has defined an attitude and a lifestyle for me. Including this video was the basis for forming a band in 2004 called Zás-Trás and we wanted to be like Napalm Death and Discharge at the same time. Since the end of the band, I have not found or heard from about Gabriel (from Aracaju) and Raoni (from Rio de Janeiro). Anyway, watch again and who never saw press play now.

ATRAMENT - DEMO MMXV
Fuck!!! Atrament is yet another great revelation 2015. This demo contains two songs and the guys just destroyed everything. Including the band released an album this year 2016. One thing is certain: Atrament is a band you should listen immediately, because these guys are really good.

P.L.F. - DEVIOUS PERSECUTION AND WHOLESALE SLAUGHTER
The band is called Pretty Little Flower and the noise is an antithesis in relation to its name. This is rotten grindcore and this album contains fourteen tracks. Unfortunately I don't have much information about this band, but the noisy is good.

SLAYER - REPENTLESS
"Repentless" is the first album without the presence of Jeff Hanneman who died in 2013. Before the album was released many people were with negative expectations about it, because one of the greatest composers of the band was not present and this also includes the drummer Dave Lombardo. But who replaced Jeff Hanneman was Gary Holt (Exodus), one of the great guitarists of thrash metal and the drummer is Paul Bostaph (you know this guy). Well, "Repentless" is a very good album and certainly exceeded my expectations and perhaps yours. Yes, the album is thrash metal aggressive and straight to the point and at times reminds phases like "Reign in Blood" and "Divine Intervention" but Slayer is a band like Motörhead and AC/DC, ie, the formula is the same as in previous albums and I think that's good. Highlighting the tracks "Repentless", "Take Control", "Cast the First Stone", "When the Stillness Comes" and "Pride in Prejudice". To complete this new work, the cover art was done by Marcelo Vasco (another brilliant art). "Repentless" is an album that is worth listening to. I like!

WHO'S MY SAVIOUR - WALLS OF SICKNESS
Before I start talking about this album, I have to say that the show at Exhale The Chaos MetalPunk in Belo Horizonte was extremely chaotic, where Who's My Saviour and the public destroyed everything, fire and sweat to all sides and the temperature was really refreshing because the place had air conditioning. The structure of this event was excellent. "Wall of Sickness" was released in 2013 and what you'll hear here is very exciting grindcore, full of energy and well made, where the eight tracks that make up this album will leave you crazy. Who's My Saviour is power infernal trio composed of members of classic bands of the German grind scene as the guitarist and vocalist Hazy (Cyness and Entrails Massacre) and bassist and vocalist Andy (Wojczech, band that also performed at the same event). For all you fuckin Posers!!!

BORN FOR SLAUGHTER / MYTERI - SPLIT EP
Both bands are new and I even did a review on the album released by Myteri last year. Well, Born For Slaughter is a metal crust band and with only two songs I realized that this band is good. This band is heavy, melancholic and aggressive. I did not like the album released by Myteri and this split EP has only one new song called "När Historien är Bortglömd", the other track is part of the self-titled album.

MEANT TO SUFFER - MEANT TO SUFFER
In 2014 I watched the presentation of Meant To Suffer in Belo Horizonte at Exhale The Chaos MetalPunk (event held by the organizers of Exhale The Sound and MetalPunk Overkill) and was very good. The guys play very well and the audience quite enjoy the band's performance, plus a cover song of Terrorrizer for joy of all present. After the closing of the gig I had the chance to meet the guys and we talked a lot (we joked about an article made by Noisey) and I realized that the guys are very nice people. Unfortunately the band ended its activities and these four tracks are the latest recorded music (I don't know but these songs would be in a split EP with the Brazilian band called Ação Direita). In a way, the cover art done by Murilo Pommer reports the end of the band. Listen and shared.

STEVE VON TILL - A LIFE UNTO ITSELF

Seven tracks really very nice to hear and especially the songs "In Your Wings", "The Life Unto Itself" and "The Language of Blood". Listen and relax!

DOPETHRONE - HOCHELAGA
The slow and bitten climate of the first track "Sludgekicker" made me think about Beherit (ok, the beginning of the music and the vocals), but that was just a coincidence, because this album is sludge! Of course, all the songs are slow and heavy and with self-destructive lyrics. In terms of sludge music, "Hochelaga" is much better than "Golithan" last album released by Weedeater. Oh yes, this cover art is great.

HEROIN SS - DESTROY AND NOISE [DEMO]
This band caught my attention by the names entered in the cover art. I listened to the songs on bandcamp and I like the noise made by these guys, ie d-beat / raw punk too wheezing like Japanese bands, but the noise is in the Australian molds.

SARCÓFAGO - DIE... HARD!
No! Sarcófago has not returned but Cogumelo Records released this relic. "Die... Hard!" contains only the demo tapes and rehearsals made by the band. All the songs that are in this collection were the basis for the birth of the legend from hell called Sarcófago, a band that you love or hate, there is no middle ground. Content is you will hear is this: Demo Tape "Sarcófago" 1st versions ("Satanás" Portuguese version), 2nd versions, Demo Tape "Satanic Lust", Demo Tape "Black Vomit", Demo Rehearsal "I.N.R.I.", Demo Tape "Christ's Death", Demo Rehearsal "Alcoholic Coma", Demo Rehearsal "Secrets Of A Window" and Demo Tape "Satanic Lust" ("Satanic Lust" instrumental version). "Die... Hard!" it is a historical record!

ROT - NOWHERE [EP]
In 2014 I had the pleasure of watching the presentation of ROT at Exhale The Sound and this show was magnificent! That night was great and I could feel the destruction of music in front of me. Excellent, speechless! With all the strength and determination, ROT launched in 2015 the new EP called "Nowhere" after a decade with nothing recorded. This new EP came to further consolidate the name of this band, which means underground and resistance. "Nowhere" contains twelve tracks and five songs are available for listening on Soundcloud (you will feel the impact on hearing this). Simply one of the most interesting bands of all time is back and shows for everyone what is grindcore!

DOWN AMONG THE DEAD MEN - EXTERMINATE! ANNIHILATE! DESTROY!
For me, this mix of death metal and crust is excellent. This explosive combination makes the strongest and aggressive music. So, these are the characteristics of Down Among The Dead Men and of course, everyone was eager to hear the new album because the first release was excellent. Well, "Exterminate! Annihilate! Destroy!"... Ok! The title of this album is the perfect definition to qualify this record because the songs done by them exterminate, annihilate and destroy mercilessly. In other words, "Exterminate! Annihilate! Destroy!" it is much better than the first album (I said this record is excellent, don't forget). Great songs were made for this album and I highlight the following tracks: "Pyramids of Mars", "Warriors of the Deep", "War Machines", "Unearthly Child", "Tooth and Claw", "Protest and Survive" (Discharge cover - hell yeah!) and closing with a flourish "Exterminate! Annihilate! Destroy!". No doubt this album will please people who like death metal, crust punk and heavy music in general, beyond the admirers of Benediction (impossible not to mention) and Bolt Thrower. Before I forget, Dave Ingram is singing as well, the voice remains strong and guttural. The cover art which fits in perfectly with the album title is a work done by Turkka G. Rantanen. Badass!!!

WAR//PLAGUE / VASTATION - UNITED IN DARKNESS [EP]
Fuck! The first band is War//Plague and they start destroying with "Centrifuge" heavy song and very similar to Hellshock and, by the way, is a great music. The next track is a sensational cover song of Totalitär (classic Swedish punk band). Vastation is a new band and these guys are also very good. With two tracks also, this band plays stenchcore/crust with death metal influence, in other words, Vastation sounds like the old Bolt Thrower in the crust version. This split EP is pretty cool.

FATUM - LIFE DUNGEONS
I will start by saying this: "Life Dungeons" is one of the best releases made by Fatum. Of course, the previous records are very good too, but this album is better than "Time Passes To The Dark", for example. In fact, the spirit of the 80s is the root of Fatum and bands as Deviated Instinct, Axegrinder, Amebix, Antisect and Sacrilege are the main influences of this band, besides the old thrash metal. "Life Dungeons" is a great album from start to finish, where all tracks are an invitation for headbanging, that is, the Russians are keeping this flame accesses. The cover art is amazing and is a work done by Cyrik (guitars/vocals). Finally, yet another excellent launch in 2015.

PRIMITIVE MAN - HOME IS WHERE THE HATRED IS [EP]
Fuck! This band is absurd! In just three years of existence Primitive Man is shaking the structures of heavy music and this new EP is another earthquake caused by this band. "Home Is Where the Hatred Is" is a record that contains four ultra heavy tracks, both musically and lyrically. Just listen and above all watch the video clip called "Loathe" (this video is extremely ill), and "Bag Man", which the video was censored by YouTube to show women's breasts (on the black tag is written 'For Your Protection'). Regarding the last video clip mentioned, the women on the cover are the same actresses in the video. Heavy as fuck!

JUPITERIAN - APHOTIC
Créditos: Fernando Camacho (Black Hole Productions)
The first track I heard this album was "Drag Me To My Grave" (bonus track on the CD version) and I really liked it a lot! Of course, I already imagined that the apocalypse was coming, perfect! February 2016 and the heat is intense and the apocalypse is announced with sunlight consuming my existence slowly and morbid. Yeah! Slow and morbid are striking features in this album called "Aphotic" which in fact is a continuation of the first album, but the music made by the guys are much heavier and funeral. "Aphotic" consists of five high quality tracks, of which I highlight the tracks "Daylight" (Julius Robert Oppenheimer says those famous words) and "Aphotic" (this song is sinister). As I said earlier, this album has two versions (cassette and CD) and two different artwork. The cassette version (Caligari Records) the cover art by Tyta Montrase and CD version (Black Hole Productions) the cover art by Manuel Tinnemans. Jupiterian is a worthy funeral representative from damn tropical lands. Man, this album is very good and is one of the best records in 2015. Listen now and get the pleasure of feeling the heat killing you (in this case it is for those who live in Brazil or other extremely hot country).

KONAD - IRAE DEI
You like "Café Beirute"? Well, I quite like! Right, "Irae Dei" is new release of Konad and I say that this is as good as the previous album. But "Irae Dei" is an album that is more aggressive and straight to the point. This is because the new songs sound more d-beat/crustcore compared to "Café Beirute". Of course, the influence of thrash metal remains intact and that's good. Man, do yourself a favor to yourself and listen to this, because when performing this act you will offend the Almighty and you will feel God's wrath in the ears. Badass!
