SANTUARIO - Espartaco, Gladiador Rei Anthemic Power Metal of international quality, right up there with the finest Swedish, Dutch, Canadian or Hungarian demo bands of the time.
KORZUS - Principe De Escuridão Slow, pounding, almost doomy Metal turning into SpeedThrash halfway through. Mean & bloody awesome stuff!
ABUTRE - Rock, Rock, Rock Not at all what you'd expect from the song title. US/"Metal Massacre"-Metal riffing orgies galore. Awesome, of course.
PERFORMANCES - Viajante Perdido Rough'n'Wild NWOHM-mayhem! Way better & smarter than you'd think from the weird band name.
Tracklist side B:
ABUTRE - Quando O Fogo Comeca Arder Quite the shock! Top-class, original Power Metal with a few hints of late 80's VOIVOD (!?)
PERFORMANCES - Guerreiro Da Paz Even with the slightly out-of-tune vocals this is still great Epic Metal w/ a healthy dose of M Fate/Manilla Road-goodness.
SANTUARIO - Santuario Dark & somber Metal like Blitzkrieg at Celtic Frost-pace.
KORZUS - Guerreiros Do Metal Speed - Metal! of the 1st Slayer-brand of "definingness" (..if that's even a word?) Gotta be good..
