BRASILIAN BOOTY

It has been a while since the last music review, uh?
So here you are with today's pick: a re-issue of one of my all-times favorite Brasilian thrash bands, Chakal. I found it - with much surprise, I'd say - a couple of days ago at the "Pirate Union" market. The price didn't look so fair, so I had to exploit all the charm of my buccaneer discount tickets! But later on I discovered why!
Indeed, the cover did not show any sign or writing whatsoever, but upon checking the content, the disc revealed to contain both the second and third Chakal's albums! I mean "Say it, guys!" Anyway, lucky me... and the other sucker who's got the other copy left!

CHAKAL-The Man is his own Jackal (1990)+Death is a lonely business (1991)

As I told you many times (cf. previous post about them): Brasilian thrash has something special!, at least for the Cpt.! And despite these two records may not boast such a great deal of speed & laser precision technique, they deliver a full load of good old times feelings. (hey , in case you didn't notice it yet: '90s is "old" by now)! How to say... early Carnivore or Venom-like... genuine brutality, immediate, simple, rough sounding (rough meaning "old fashioned") groovy thrash metal! Rythm, pounding and a bastard melody dragging you from track to track. Love to death this shit! Ah, yes... buddy Junior, who knows Vladimir Korg, the singer, told me they're working (read as "recording") new stuff! I'm already salivating...!
Absolutely to try: "Acme Dead End Road", "Hangover", "Fear of Death", "Choked".
Opensesami: portroyal.
