THE REVIEW

It is not me; it is not DeMa.

I am Genital Grinder; I have awoken for a few minutes from eternal rest (grant me, oh Lord).

To talk to you about this sumptuous meal; this last supper.

Dirty, foul, rough: the Brazilian "Sewer Rats" represent the black scum of the most extreme, underground Hardcore. A social center band par excellence. I saw them live at the Leoncavallo when I was still alive and kicking.

Few tracks for very few minutes; the lyrics speak of violence in the favelas, the corrupt political system in their nation; of wars and nuclear danger.

It is the charismatic and huge singer El Gordo who leads the comrades in a cynical Crust-Punk; bordering on Grind.

Poorly produced and played even worse; you can't understand anything or almost. Muddled voice: it seems that El Gordo is shouting with a mouth full of food (or vomit, if you prefer).

They pay homage to their friends Sepultura with a very worthy cover of "Biotech is Godzilla".

Dangerous band: you might as well move on.

I am still the most authoritative and respected voice of music extremism in all of South America...

Now I can return to my bruised affairs...FUCK OFF AND DIE...

Guerra civil canibal em nome de Deus.

Ad Maiora.
