2022 : THE YEAR IN EXTREME METAL - In 40 Minutes

Onto 1982 we go. While the NWOBHM was running out of steam, many of the hard rock and metal legacy bands stepped up with great records that year to fill the void. And let's not forget the birth of a sub-genre (d-beat) that year, the naming of another (black metal) ... and the release of one of the first true doom metal records.

You've got to have a heart of stone not to love the year in heavy that was 1982!

The amount of new bands coming out from Brazil nowadays surpass in large numbers the best expectations ever made. AÇOITE is another fine example of that and their death thrash will raise hell in the underground scene for sure. Açoite is their seminal self titled album exclusively released by Helldprod Records in Europe in cassette format.
Their influences range between early Sodom, Kreator and Sepultura so prepare yourself to face the fury and aggression of these eight deadly tracks that are set to unrest your deepest inner self. Without a doubt this is violent and intense release that demands a severe head banging from all metal maniacs out there. Be sure to feel their whiplash!

Açoite - Império Do Terror - MC (2019)
