First album of this brazilian band.
I was expecting a bad production here, but no, it's quite a good production for an independent release and the first of a band. As usual, the only bad point in the recording is the drums sound, which, I'm used to it, drums it's hard to get a good sound, at least it seems like that.
The highlight on the record are the vocals by Marcus D´Angelo who also plays guitar.
The sound in this first record, released in 2000 is pretty much based on the Sepultura's Max Cavalera era. In fact, A LOT of their sound can be found in here. Some Korzus as well, including Marcello Pompeu from Korzus, as a special guest on one track.
Vocals both in english and portuguese, a good combination, some feeling, some technic.
It was the first album I've heard from the band, and I'm looking forward to listen the other ones, cause if they follow the same path, with a better production and get rid from all that Sepultura background, the next records must be very very good.
