What hit me so unexpectedly was this barrage of music coming from just two men, which hurled me back into about 1987′s fetid Brazilian tape-trader jungle metal, but at the same time carrying a dominant genetic stamp throughout it that was distinctly Bode Pretos. That usually just doesnt happen new bands are usually so hyped up and full of their own bullshit, sporting ripped off cover art and/or bastardizing someone elses logo and when it boils down to the main body of their art, the music, well, to me its a meaningless string of riffs and rhythms sewn together to make a song with no conviction and leaving the listener feeling shafted and devoid of feeling.
That might be OK for some, but not for me and thats where Bode Preto comes to play so solidly. I feel Bode Preto and thats what I want from music. Its this way with any medium, or should be. These guys simply let their art do the talking and we garner from it what we will. I dont think hell is supposed to sound this good though. The song Elytron (Succubus) for me denotes a truly classic release. I urge you to tap into that drumming which was not recorded in any studio, but simply a plain room, and absorb the feeling, and youre on the path which has at least as many layers as Dantes Inferno, if not more.
