Pessimista (Ocaso)
Crank this to 7.1 of 11
Released: 2021
Genre: Black metal
Sounds Like: Gorgoroth, Blut Aus Nord
Homeland: Brazil
Track Overview:
1. Tempestade de emotes e pensamentos (2:29)
A calming entrance with overcast skies, not too annoying as intros typically go.
2. Se Icro soubesse o quest see agora (6:58) Standout Track
Unique trailing guitar work at the 2:45 mark got us juiced, last 3 mins of this track are best of the album.
3. Dia e noite numa briga eterna (8:40)
Percussive onslaught here, with some impressive change-ups, lack of vocal variation starts to wear. Elements of punk hit at the 6 min mark.
4. Culto a Punicao (8:47)
Darkest track of the lot. A bit rough around the edges.
5. Sinto sua dor no por do sol (9:04)
The second best track on the album, they bring things back to earth here, solid closer.
Album Nuggets
Black metal with a positive message
Caustic tones by design modern black metal tilts with some patches of breath
Track four brings our rating down, offbeat and melodically challenged
Overall very talented crew here. Tracks 2 and 5 are above average and quite involved.
Mediocre vocals but solid fretwork and percussion
Its a ‘Name Your Price’ on BandCamp. The one man show has put a lot into this one, send some dollars his way
Brew Pairing
A dark rich brooding beer from Brazil that fits well amongst the five tracks is Cacador Xingu Black Beer at 6% ABV this is a rich and smooth dark venture.
