Formed in 2019 in Santos, city of São Paulo - birthplace of great names in the national underground -, APNEA arises when Mauricio Boka invites Marcus Vinicius to show the ideas he had in his head for a long time and test the construction of a style and a sound identity.

The Damnnation releases new music video "Slaves of Society"
 
THE DANNATION attacks with their debut album, releasing a versatile sound that mixes multiple strands of extreme metal and brings old school thrash to life. Continuing to promote the album, the band releases the music video for the track "Slaves of Society", produced and recorded by Starship Videos.

"In this video we decided to do it with a more 'stage' feel to express the idea of ​​anger and anguish that is conveyed in the lyrics, a very evident moment now in the country", comments vocalist and guitarist Renata Petrelli.

The band launches the new video and prepares for the Way of Perdition Latin America Tour, which starts this week.

'WAY OF PERDITION' was released May 6, 2022 via Soulseller Records on CD, LP and digitally, and produced and recorded by Rogério Oliveira, who worked on the EP Parasite' and mixed and mastered by the renowned Martín Furia, who has worked on the Nervosa, Eskröta and BARK albums.

THE DAMNNATION - SLAVES OF SOCIETY (OFFICIAL VIDEO)
Based in São Paulo / Brazil, THE DAMNNATION consist of Renata Petrelli (vocals, guitar), Aline Dutchi (bass, backing vocals), and Ellen Diniz (drums).

In 2020 they dropped a four-track EP entitled "Parasite", on which the raging fist of old school Heavy Metal hit the skull of Thrash Metal. Imagine the love child of Judas Priest, Megadeth, and Power Trip if you will.

The thrash metal power trio is signed to Dutch label Soulseller Records. “We are very happy with this support and to be part of this cast with incredible bands from the world stage! We're definitely going to have an incredible road together!"

The album received great reviews on several websites and specialized magazines such as Decibel Magazine, Metal Injection, Rock Hard, Zero Tolerance, Metal Hammer, among others. The Damnation played major shows across Brazil to promote and record and will embark on a late 2022 tour of Latin America.
 
Recently the band announced the departure of the great drummer Luana Diniz, who recorded and performed at 'Way Of Perdition', and announced the entry of the new drummer, Ellen Tavares, who will record the band's new album scheduled for the end of 2023.

Now, the power trio will strike back even heavier - be prepared!

Headbangers News "36 minutes later we have a great play and the absolute certainty that Brazil follows a barn of good heavy bands" -

Invisible Oranges -"Renata Petralli’s beastly roar is somewhere between Max Cavalera and Angela Gossow–guttural with a Portuguese flair–and it easily tears through the band's thrashing racket, which recalls old-school Sepultura's in groove, and Sarcófago in atmosphere" 

Decibel Magazine"For fans of dark, driving thrash, the debut full-length from Brazilian ultra-power trio The Damnnation will, paradoxically, be pure heaven" -

SOUR BRANDY releases first single from debut album; Listen “UNGLORY”


SOUR BRANDY releases first single from debut album; Listen “UNGLORY”

 
Watch the video HERE!

Listen "Unglory": AQUI!
 
The brazilian band Sour Brandy launches this Friday (27th) the single “Unglory”, which arrives accompanied by a video clip recorded by Matheus Candido with editing by Luis Victor, showing all the energy and sound atmosphere that the band wants to show. Sour Brandy has a proposal to bring the mentality and aesthetics of the old west, with a timeless sound that mixes the band's diverse influences. 

This is the first single from the debut album 'Unglory', which will be released in April, although it was composed 2 years ago. “We started in early 2020, however with the pandemic, there were postponements until completion at the end of 2022. These postponements gave us the opportunity to add some ideas both in terms of composition and mixing”, comments the band. The album promotion has 3 more singles and music videos, which will be released soon.
Sour Brandy - Unglory (Official Video)
Sour Brandy was formed in 2017 in the city of Atibaia, in Sao Paulo, Brazil members Adrian Godoy (guitar and vocals), Luis Victor (bass) and former member Jonas Oliveira (drums), who recently left the band, giving way to drummer Gustavo Gumerate. The band gave stoner and heavy metal a new look, taking influences from bands like Black Sabbath, Black Label Society, Motorhead, Pride&Glory, Pantera, Black Stone Cherry, Mudvayne, Blues Saraceno, The Devil Makes Three and more.
 
The band draws attention for its sound and visual characteristics, artistic compositions for the stage and clothing, being based on the wild west with a rustic touch from motorcycle clubs. In 2019, they released their first work entitled 'Along', a six-track EP that was released in physical and digital media. The concept of the EP was to deal with the changing emotions of everyday life, from extreme happiness, as in the track “Rise Your Beer”, to extreme hatred in the case of “Hate”.

From 2017 to 2019, there was an intense work of shows, both in performances in the underground environment, where they often participate in events promoted by Rarozine magazine, and in shows promoted by motorcycle clubs. The apex and one of the last events was the opening of the singer Supla's show in 2019 in Atibaia-SP.

The debut album 'Unglory' marks a new stage in the history of Sour Brandy, with the new member, the change in visual identity and the goals and more concise objective to establish a strong identity and nail the name in the heavy music scene.

Claustrofobia releases new video “Stronger Than Faith”


Claustrofobia releases new video “Stronger Than Faith”

Watch Video HERE!

Listen the new album HERE!
 
Longstanding Brazilian death / thrash metal trio CLAUSTROFOBIA, formed in 1994 by brothers Marcus and Caio D'Angelo, boasts of a career spanning nearly three decades, a discography comprising six full-length albums and a DVD release, a multitude of international tours, high-profile live performances sharing stages with the likes of Iron Maiden, Slayer and Anthrax ... and countless fans all over the world.

Now headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, Claustrofobia has released their seventh full-length studio álbum ‘Unleeched’, and to promote the new work, they debut the music video for the disc's opening track “Stronger Than Faith''. About the song, Marcus D’Angelo says: “Undeniably it's the most powerful song on the album, I love the Brazilian flavor  into the traditional thrash/death riffs, and this becomes more evident when the drumming attacks the song in connection with the bass".

Faith is a word misrepresented by world society, always confused and/or associated with religion. We have to believe in our steps regardless of the unknown future, but it's not enough to just have faith, we must have devotion to sacrifice, be a volunteer in the battle to conquer, tame your own demons that chase us as if it's centurie's darkest cult”.

Made entirely in DIY style, this video is filmed on the Nelson Ghost Town at the historical Techatticup Mine and directed
 and edited by drummer Caio D’Angelo. It's the oldest, richest and most famous gold mine in Southern Nevada - U.S.A. All promotional photos were taken in Nelson Ghost Town, and the intro of the album has the sound of an abandoned piano that was also filmed in front of a chapel in Nelson.

“Shooting the music video for this track in the same location was a unanimous choice within the band. That place has an incredible and strong energy”, said Marcus D’Angelo.

Produced by Adair Daufembach and Claustrofobia, and recorded, mixed and mastered by Adair Daufembach in August 2020 at Northwood Sound Studio in Los Angeles, ‘Unleeched’, was released by Metal Assault Records on March 11, 2022 on digital and physical formats.

CLAUSTROFOBIA - Stronger Than Faith (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

More about Claustrofobia:

Founded and led by the D’Angelo brothers, fiercely independent since 1994, CLAUSTROFOBIA acts with the same respect and attitude in the dirtiest underground clubs or on today’s biggest stages.

Their unmistakable energy and authenticity has won them countless fans throughout Brazil, South America, Europe and the United States. It is no surprise that they shared the stage with Metal royalty Iron Maiden, Slayer, Anthrax, among others.

In 2019, they returned to Brazil for a historic show at Rock in Rio, at the request of Brazilian fans, through a nationwide petition. The band was also invited by Slayer to open for their final show in São Paulo.

 

"Building a cult is one of those things that’s easy in theory but tough in practice. Or it is, anyway, if you’re not Claustrofobia — a Brazilian death metal-tinged trad-thrash ultra-power trio that will have you head banging your way into the fold via the new Caio D`Angelo-helmed video for the soul-stirring, killer anthem 'Riff Cult'" - Shawn Macomber, Decibel Magazine, December 2020
