1989 Technodeath LP (Split with AVALON)
1991 Rehearsal Tapes 7"
2001 Greatest Hits CD
2002 Pyramidal Power CD
Dies ist eine Band aus Teresina in der Provinz Piaui die schon 1985 gegründet wurde.
Thrash im alten Bay Area Stil war ihr Ding. Die Klasse der
meisten Bands aus der Gegend erreichten sie nie, waren aber auch nicht schlecht!
Sie schafften es nie ein volles Album zu veröffentlichen. Zuerst konnten sie mit auf eine Split LP mit
AVALON, und später kam noch eine Single auf dem Kult Label "Whiplash", und ist rar wie alle Sachen von
dieser kurzlebigen Company! Auf der Split LP hatten sie noch einen Sänger Namens "Conan", doch auf der Single
ist er nicht mehr dabei, und Gitarrist Mike übernahm auch noch den Gesang!
Sie hatten sehr kritische Lyrics, und selbst mit ihrem holprigen Englisch ist es noch starker Tobak, wie sie
über ihr Heimatland dachten (siehe unten in der Englisch Abteilung).
Es sah dann so aus, als ob sich die Band irgendwann in den 90ern aufgelöst hätte, da keinerlei Nachrichten
von ihnen zu erfahren waren! ....aber sie waren die ganze Zeit zusammen, und spielten viel Live im Norden,
aber auch in Sao Paulo und anderen Gegenden! Aber in der ganzen Zeit kam nichts weiter von ihnen heraus,
und es dauerte 10 Jahre, bis als nächstes ihr "Greatest Hits" Album erschien. Dies war aber auch nur
ein Promo Release, und ist schwer zu finden! Ich habe sie auch nicht und kann deshalb nicht sagen, was
darauf enthalten ist! Erst im Jahre 2002 brachten sie ihr erestes richtiges Album heraus! Darauf spielen
sie immer noch Thrash Metal, aber mehr in die progressivere und moderne Richtung!
Die Homepage Adresse funktioniert nicht, ich hoffe aber dass sie sie
bald mal öffnen!

This is a band from Teresina in the province of Piaui in the northeast. They were founded in 1985 and
played Thrash in the old
Bay Area style. The class of most of this bands they did not reach, but were not bad!
They could never record a full album. First came a split LP with AVALON. Later followd a single on the
cult label "Whiplash", which is rare as all releases from this short living company.
First they had an singer called "Conan", but when the single was recorded he was gone, and guitar player
Mike took over this job too! They had very critical lyrics, and even in their raw English it is still
very accusing how they thought about their native country:
Hunger misery and death
Disorder and corruption
Economy of the country is robbed
Inflation grows fast
No respect to the environment
Indiscrimate fire in forest
Sky and oceans are polluted
And polititicians just talk
That`s Brazil....it has soccer
That`s Brazil....it has carnival
That`s Brazil....it has AIDS
That`s Brazil....it has Bacchanal
..............
It seemed like they split in the 90s, as no news of them arrived outside of Brazil, ....but they were all the
time together and played a lot live in the North, and sometime in Sao Paulo or other towns. ....but there
was no release for 10 years, till the "Greatest Hits" CD followed! This was only a promotional release,
and it is very hard to find! I do not have it yet, and can not tell you what it contains!
Finally in 2002 the first real album was released! This contains still Trash Metal, but it is more
progressive and modern! The homepage adress is not available in the moment, but hope they
open it sometime!

Banda de Teresina. Montaram a banda em 1985 e tocam o velho Thrash nos moldes da Bay Area. A maioria
destas bandas não possuiam muita classe, mas não eram ruins. Eles nunca conseguiram lançar um álbum
inteiro. Primeiro lançaram um split com o AVALON. Mais tarde um single pela gravadora cult "Whiplash",
o qual é raro (como todos os outros lançamentos da gravadora). Tiveram um vocalista chamado Conan, mas
quando do lançamento do single o vocalista já tinha saído e o guitarrista assumiu os
vocais. Eles possuem letras bem críticas e mesmo com um inglês razoável, eles conseguem mostrar o que
pensam do país:
Fome, miséria e morte
Desordem e corrupção
A economia do país é roubada
A inflação cresce rápido
Nenhum respeito pelo ambiente
Fogo indiscriminado na floresta
Céu e oceano poluídos
e os políticos falam:
Isto é o Brasil, tem futebol
Isto é o Brasil, tem carnaval
Isto é o Brasil, tem AIDS
Isto é Brasil, tem bacanal
..............
Parece que eles se separam em 1990, já que não se ouve nenhuma notícia deles fora do Brasil, mas sempre
estiveram tocando no norte, algumas vezes em SP ou outras cidades. No entanto, nenhum lançamento nesses
10 anos até o CD "Greatest Hits" surgir no mercado. Foi apenas um lançamento promocional e é bem difícil
de encontrá-lo. Não o possuo ainda e não posso dizer do que se trata. Finalmente em 2002 o primeiro
álbum foi lançado. Ainda contém Thrash Metal, mas é mais progressivo e moderno. O
endereço na internet não está disponível até o momento, mas espero que esteja em breve!
