HARDCORE PUNK NEW RELEASES - April/May 2024

"I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague...."

The speech excerpt used in the intro track was taken from the movie "The Matrix".

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)

This month we bring an interview with Dallas' Imperial Slaughter!
Forgive Cole's mic, it's haunted by a poltergeist.
