Raw, brutal, savage and furious

Don't really have preferred brands… As long as I have a nice drum kit, good mics and a good recording sistem I'll be ok with that. The good system is to capture the musician's best moment… If you wanna sound consistent, solid and natural, you gonna have to make sure you will play good and hit hard the mother fucking drums.

There are subjects about death, war, religion and all the conspiracies, conflicts and hypocrisy behind dogmas inflicted upon humans…  And also the usual message of staying strong and true to the things you believe in, fighting for it and never straying away from your path, no matter how hard it can be. Nothing complex or intricate about the lyrics, just the visions we have about this fucked up world we live in.

It's hard to say, we don't plan things like that, we just follow our feelings and play music from the soul… It's something natural for us…if you think too much about the music you are composing you might lose the vibe..

Without a doubt Sepultura was one of our main influences, especially during the "Beneath the Remains" and "Arise" eras… we thought "Refuse Resist" would be a good way to pay tribute to this legendary band, the song is heavy as fuck, full of anger and attitude.

Oh it's hard to name just a few man… So many killer bands, and many friends we made on the road…
Immolation, Destruction, Obituary, Nile, Morbid Angel, Kataklysm, Hate Eternal, Arsis, Grave, and more…

To me it's always the stage man, the feeling right before you hit the stage, the cult, concentration, focus and then the explosion of energy when the shows starts… It's hard to put in words…

We had a great childhood man, we have always been very united and got eachothers back… when I was in trouble in fights and such, Alex and Moyses would always be there to defend me no matter what… I was very lucky to have my older brothers to inspire me and teach me stuff….I grew up listening metal because of them… I was the little brother always around when they were listening to the first metal lps they got… Like Judas Priest, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Alayer, Metallica etc. So we pretty much grew up listening to the same bands and we kind of share the same taste when comes to Metal.

We always had influences from old school metal, and we still have them. We just added new elements and influences when we got to know Altars of Madness for example… But our background has always been old school metal like Motorhead, Slayer, Morbid Angel, Venom , Destruction …I really don't give much thought about what is thrash or death nowadays, if it's brutal, mean and badass is good.

Honestly I thought that Brazil was most well known by its more brutal bands like Sarcofago, Krisiun, Vulcano, Korzus, Torture Squad, and many others…

Brazil is amazing man, people here love metal, shows are usually packed, and people are crazy. Shows we do here are usually good.

It was definitely bad on albums sales for all bands and labels… Internet is part of people's lives nowadays, everybody uses it for work and entertainment all the time, and most of these people only listen music on the Internet… So you definitely gotta have your music on the Internet for download so you can reach all the these people… On the other hand the real fans will always buy your records no matter what. Also I have seen more and more people buying vinyls nowadays… Internet downloading was really bad in the beginning but I guess we can use that in our favor, as a tool to promote our music and reach more people.

Hey Jean, it was a pleasure!

See us in Canada! Take care!
