Expulser
The Unholy One
[Cogumelo]


A completely unknown (including to me) band from Brazil, playing technical, incredibly brutal, and all-out filthy death/black metal. The opening riff crushes everything in sight, but it's the song titles that deserve extra special recognition:

-Prove to the Almighty God
-Cirrhosis (Let's get drunk)
-Bleeding at cross
-Fornications (At the Church)
-The Unholy One
-Screams of Delights
-Christ's Saga
-The Evil Orgasm
-Gore Pussy of Virgin
-The Slut

Obviously any band with a title like 'The Slut', or a song signing of liver problems, while combining all of this with Satanic imagery and truly harsh metal deserves heaps of respect. Who the fuck are these maniacs? I would like to know more about their history.

The metal here sounds somewhat familiar, but is at the same time hard to categorize. It's not American in sound exactly, but has what could be considered a "early Order from Chaos after listening to Hellhammer mixed with some early Morbid Angel plus tons of alcohol, mental disorders, and Satanic worship". No, that doesn't really make any sense, but if you could hear this you would probably understand. There's some death metal here, but also some early thrashy blackness. The vocals go from semi-deep to all-out screams and fit into the music wonderfully. Bass solos, insane drumming, truly great riffs….. "The Unholy One" fucking destroys everything in it's path. Amazing.
