CONFRONTO


Some sounds are borderless, and sometimes you need a low end neanderthal mosh. And no matter where you are (or were) after 1997 or so, there were bands like CONFRONTO. Take their contemporary countrymen POINT OF NO RETURN as a stylistic comparison, this Rio de Janeiro powerhouse drop metallic brutality with gratuitous chug chugs and jud juds, and only break loose a few times on their '99 debut. Brooding, burly metalcore in its infancy (they have evolved over 20 years into a thrash/metalcore behemoth), CONFRONTO are at once timeless and shamelessly dated - which is to say that this demo doesn't take me back to a place, rather it puts me in a place. And also the mosh....the mosh.
