01. Zero Of Me
02. In Pieces
03. Constant Dream

With the tons of Brazilian bands playing Metal, something big was bound to happen, and I think I just found it. I came across this band because a friend of mine sent me the link to their website, my first impression was "Oh shit, another crappy band trying to make it".
My reasons? The ugly cover art that graces the 3-song Ep "In Pieces", but again, not everyone can afford a fancy, artsy cover art for their Demo, Ep, rehearsal etc.

Anyway, the 3-song Demo was downloadable at the website (and still is) so I decided to give it a try since I was bored at work and you know me, I'm never afraid to give a try to anything new.

I downloaded the songs in order, "Zero Of Me" to warm things up, warm? Damn! From the first riffs I was burning inside! This is an excellent Thrash piece with superb riffing and great variety in the vocal department, you have the main clean voice in the front and in the back you have growls and shrieks, which gives a lot of spice to the music.

"In Pieces" was the second song I heard. Anthrax played in Lima a few weeks ago and the experience is still fresh in my mind, I swear when I heard this song the first thing that came into my mind was Anthrax and S.O.D., pure Thrash from the eighties, with a modern touch. "Constant Dream" is a slow song, reminiscent of those Thrash ballads from the eighties like "Return To Serenity" among others, good song although nothing memorable.

To be honest with all of you, this is the best independent Thrash Metal act I've heard in a while, great musicianship, catchy riffs, great vocals, good production, Reviolence should be signed by now. If you don't believe me, stop by their official website and download the whole Ep.
