Another one that i call , "This is tha shiett!!!".
Oh, totally awsome. I remember back when this came out , 20 years (!!!???) ago, that i had this mixed feelings of disgust and joy. But this joy was in a negative way, sinse i considered this to be a joke.This was due to the fact that the album is totally sung in Portuguese.
Back then, i was into the most aggressive, brutal music that could exist, the time was for brutallity, gore, rage, anger and above all in english. And i got suprised that a band even tried to sing in it's native language... Well these guys did... and now , all this time later, i'm really glad they did!
Of course , that, for any metalhead that doen't understand Portuguese , this can be persived as... er... shit... like i did back then. But that was when i was just a kid who just got into Morbid Angel , Deicide, Carcass or Entombed. Now that i'm older (huh....) and a bit more open minded (lol) this really sounds incredibly good.
Great guitar work, Power Metal vocals, although they describe themselves as Speed Metal, and a couple of very good writting and lyrics. "Claustrophobia" is definitly the most cheasy, radio frendly track. And except for "Hhaar" (a totally unecessary filler) all great Power/Melodic/Trad/Heavy Metal classics.
Got this tape a few years ago on a local store here in my town for 1€!!! lol...
What a catch!!! After this got into my collection, it became one of my favorite Portuguese albums of all time. The fact is, if they got to sang in english, like they wanted to, (somehow they were forced by the label...) they would never, ever, became such a legend , that they are now. To me they are the Best from which i call the "Ground zero" era of the Portuguese Metal.
There are others similar in popularity and quality like Alkateya, Sepulcro, Tarantula, Casablanca, Procyon, just to name a few , but , and again, which made these guys so unique was that caracteristic that i once hated...
Oh, the irony.....
This was released by Polygram Discos in 1990.
Produced by Emanuel Ramalho.
Recorded and mixed at Angel 1 studios , Lisbon.
The tape version has a diferend track listing than the LP.
All music by V12, all lyrics by V12 except * by Jorge de Sena.
So far, there is only the vynil and cassete version of this album. A single (with 2 tracks) was released to promote the album also in 1990. The band had a prior demo, totally in enlish and also made a demo after the album. They broke up shortly after the album came out and reunited a couple years later with a female singer just to record that demo and for a few gigs. Sinse they wanted to go on for professional musicians and couldn't get a record deal or pay the bils with the few gigs they had, the band foulded for good around 93/94...
Score/ratting: 10
