VULCANO

Vulcano (Brazil): Bloody Vengeance (Greyhaze Records)

Greyhaze Records is reissuing a 1986 classic of extreme metal from Brazil. If you do not have this album, I will quickly tell you a few reasons why the album seems to be universally loved. First, the album sounds primal, like a mix of thrash, death and black metal all in one and the songs have a great energy to them. Second, the viciousness of the album no doubt has had a great, lasting effect on metalheads in South America and beyond. Third, this album is part of the early period of extreme metal in Brazil and has a charm that is undeniable. Fourth, the songs are actually memorable; it is not just fast and loud, which it is, of course. Fifth, whether this album is a masterpiece or not is for you to decide, but there is no question that this is a very good album, regardless. Sixth, this is a personal reason: I listen to this album regularly. It is the type of album that I heard one time and I knew that I would be coming back for more. I could list more reasons, but just understand that this is Vulcano in 1986 rocking out as hard as they could and they succeeded big, big time. This is a wonderful album any way you look it. If you love extreme metal, and you have never given Vulcano a chance, I tell you, you should do it and see if you feel the fire and brimstone raging in these songs.
