Rejeito -- crossover thrash punk metal from Brazil

Rejeito

Fúria

February 24th, 2021

The 18 minutes (intro + seven tracks) of Rejeito (Brazil; lyrics in Portuguese) gives plenty of reasons for headbanging. Their thrash has a nice uptempo energy, not super fast but certainly mosh friendly, with a pretty good sound and a strong barking semi-growling/shouting voice. Catchy, simple and punk metal, Rejeito needs very little time to get its point across. According to Metal Archives, they are a relatively new band formed in 2019 and there is no other previous recording. They have a certain old-school punk feel to the rhythms, meaning that they have the charm that comes from playing music without overthinking it. They also prefer an old-school attitude because it does feel like a band in their rehearsal space rolling through their material with the listener in the audience, even though it is not a rough rehearsal but a clean, moshing, headbanging recording. They don't like to be too computerized/robotic, and that reveals itself upon hearing the first song. Anyway, if this is the beginning of Rejeito, it's a good one, and fans of crossover thrash/punk metal may end up enjoying it quite a bit.
