DESALMADO – Hereditas: This Is Grindcore, This Is Extreme Metal… That Decimates The Senses

Posted in extreme music, grindcore, Heavy Metal, heavy metal news, metal music, metal odyssey, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , , , on August 7, 2011 by Metal Odyssey

DESALMADO – On August 16h, 2011, via Greyhaze Records, Brazilian Grindcore band DESALMADO will have their Hereditas EP released as a 10″ vinyl and digital download. DESALMADO are from São Paulo, Brazil, being well known around South America over recent years under the name El Fuego. This Hereditas EP is the precursor to their forthcoming debut full-length, being produced by Jean Dolabella of Sepultura and is set for release via Greyhaze Records later in 2011.

The total running time for the six songs digested on Hereditas is fifteen minutes… and it’s fifteen minutes of 200% Grindcore savagery in all of it’s ruthless enormity. Metal be thy name, if you are looking to get your eardrums scoured by fifteen minutes of grinding extremity, Hereditas is the solution. DESALMADO puts a clamorous stamp on why Grindcore is a credible and growing, international Metal sub-genre.

The blast beats, riffs and excessively fast and unrestrained sound from Hereditas that penetrates my senses is without question, extremely intoxicating. Vocally monstrous, bordering on maniacal… and that’s exactly how it should sound and feel like. Listening to DESALMADO is accepting willingly, a grinding Metal assailment which decimates the senses and there is no clinical way to explain it any further than that. Forget power or psyche-out vibes, this is bombardment, a voluntary acceptance of an Extreme Metal invasion upon my ears and brain.

Lyrically speaking out against abuse of power and not conforming to idiotic idealism, DESALMADO have something to say. If you’re looking to get obliterated from fifteen minutes of Grindcore and Extreme Metal demolishment, then take my sound Metal advice and pick up Hereditas from DESALMADO… it will kick your ass and serve you right simultaneously.

Hereditas Track Listing:

Condenados Pelo Odio [Condemned By Hatred]

Em Sua Honra [In Your Honor]

Miseria Escravatura [Misery and Slavery]

Chagas Abertas [Open Wounds]

Manto De Sangue [Cloak of Blood]

Hereditas
