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)
