Ferida Aberta Resultado da Guerra cassette
When someone mentions traditional Brazilian hardcore thrash, you instantly think of contagious energy, of punk-as-fuck aggression with super angry vocals, and of bandanas. FERIDA ABERTA seems to be a new band from São Paolo, as Resultado da Guerra is a tape reissue of their first LP from 2024 and their songs from the split tape with ESCORIA from the year before that. The name actually comes from a song from the legendary LOBOTOMIA, and unsurprisingly, this hardcore punk unit doesn’t dick around and does rather well what it is supposed to. I am reminded of more experienced bands like ESCALPO or ODIO SOCIAL, although FERIDA ABERTA are more raw and perhaps more primitive with some crunchy tempo changes. I hadn’t really listened carefully to that type of sound for a while and I have to say I quite enjoyed it, even if it does feel a little long at times. Just good, dynamic, honest metallic hardcore punk that must be very entertaining live.
