UMUR
"XXX" is an EP release by Brazilian thrash metal act Sextrash. The EP was released through Maggot Records in 1989. Sextrash formed in 1987 in Belo Horizonte and released a couple of demos in the late 80s, before being signed for the release of "XXX".

Stylistically the material on the 3 tracks, 8:49 minutes long EP is aggressive and brutal thrash metal, which at times borders proto black and death metal. "XXX" has that ferocious primal edge that many South American thrash metal releases from the 1980s are known for and it´s almost like Sextrash go out of their way to deliver the most savage and caustic attack commited to tape. It sounds authentic and nicely raw though, so they definitely succeed in delivering said attack.

The murky, loud, and raw sounding production job further enhances the brutality and aggression of the material, and while the songwriting isn´t the most original you´ll hear in the genre, "XXX" is still a decent quality release and a nice addition to your collection of 1980s thrash/blackened speed metal releases from South America. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
