2 Brasilian Thrash bands I recommend , check em out ...

First , Vulcano . One of the first "Proto Black Metal" from the 80´s here , along with early Sepultura and Sarcofago . The music contained on "Bloody Vengeance" (1986) is fast , violent and evil , like few others by 1986 . But they have many other great albums , unfortunately , many of the 80´s material have poor production

Other I´d recommend would be Violator , which plays "retro Thrash" on the lines of Vio-Lence and EvilDead and the like . Great stuff , but the lyrics lean to the extreme left political side of things , but the music is excellent .

YouTube windows don't seem to be working today for some reason. They must be doing some maintenance behind the scenes.

YouTube windows seem to be working again. Carry on.

I own two Violator CDs. I haven't spun them in a while, though.

I have one Violator cd. Pretty solid Thrash.

Lately i have been getting into another Brazilian band, although not Thrash. Viper is an outstanding power metal group. Any fans?

Have everything from both bands. Could not pic a fav between the two. But, if I had to? It is old school every time. But Violator is the more mosh-inspiring.

I prefer Violator

Which Violator CD do you own?

Well , I´ll put some videos of both these bands below . I´m not a fan of the whole pseudo satanic (maybe not pseudo , but who cares) of Vulcano , but they are great and veterans and where releasing albums which (for me) are classics on a time (80´s and early 90´s) when getting a decent recording here in Brasil was pretty difficult . I consider them legends .

Violator is a great "retro thrash" band that to me sounds pretty similar to the likes of Nuclear Assault , EvilDead and Vio-lence , but their political and socialist leanings only get me laughing about such so naive worldviews . anyways , some few examples of their music :

Vulcano :

Most of Brazilian Thrash bands of the 80´s which appeared basically on "Minas Gerais" (Belo Horizonte , the same scene that produced Sepultura) actually sounded really close to the german and swiss scenes , but some few sounded like the Bay Area / L.A. School of Thrash . a good example is this very obscure band called "Acid Storm" which I think sounds pretty close to Testament and Forbidden .

Chemical Assault .

Viper is great , it´s where Andre Matos started his career . I highly recommend his Solo CD´s as well as at least the first 3 of SHAMAN .
