Excerpts from the interview:
Rock in General: "Circle Of Violence" is the first album since "Technologic Pain", which came out in 2007. Why did you take this time to record a new album?
Marco Anvito: It happens to all of our albums. Unfortunately we have to divide up our time with music, work and responsibilities. This ultimately hurts the progress of things and really slows the whole work. But the important thing is what we achieved We aim.
Marcelo: And we also had a tour of Europe that lasted 26 days and many other important shows in this period. This all takes time to prepare for things to be done well. Apart from that we decided to write and record this album calmly made two pre - production and then recorded it for real, came to mixing and mastering and successes with the label. I think the time between one and the other, for all that, was not that big, but I think for the next 'l take less time.
REG: This time the band recorded the disc itself, and not the double Marcello Pompeu/Heros Trench, which subscribes to the mix. Why it happened and what caused this change in practice, the final outcome of the album?
Anvito: We have acquired much experience in this weather road. I already had it assembled and able to make studio recordings. Decided by the convenience and sure to make a good recording. We did everything very calm and close attention to stay the way we imagined. Recording Studio in HCS we get more time and the will to do everything well thought out.
REG: Talk about the album title, "Circle Of Violence". It summarizes a concept of 11 songs?
Marcelo: It has no connotation in our conceptual album, each song has a particular theme, but talk about all forms of violence, including political violence that is taken by crooks who are elected and make themselves at the expense of the suffering of the population. The title itself was chosen by the band in concert. We thought it was a strong title for the album.
REG: The sound of the Hicsos always had a mix of hardcore with thrash, but this record seems that prevailed over the footprint even thrash metal . Was that the intention?
Anvito: Actually it was never thought, never had the intention of making the mix, it just happens. I believe this album as the first ideas came from Nilmon (Filho, former guitarist), which has a footprint totally thrash, and ended up thinking more about good old thrash metal. This for me is what I like about the Hicsos, the naturalness of the compositions without being stuck to one style, just do what we like.

Check out the digital magazine Underground Rock talked about "Circle of Violence": "The traditional Thrash Old School group in the footprint appears refreshed and full-bodied band here, with over 20 years of road is tingling as ever and has now reached. your Turn the diversity between tracks is interesting, more melodic bands alternating with other coarser, other, more rhythmic. Fastest tracks yes, they are the of the month our Thrash Metal!"
