Also gott good call on the Putrescine
Are the left/right guitars being out of tune an aesthetic choice?
Doesn't matter. It rocks

Also I like the new Cerebral Rot. The rhythm guitar isn't exactly setting the world on fire, but the leads are reverb drenched nightmares that feel like they are played by the Loch Ness Monster

Adding to the Cerebral Rot praise. My metal AOTY. Particularly love the vocal approach. Spare, buried, reverbed to hell and phasing at times. They hit my reptile brain deeper than say Blood Incantation or Tomb Mold who tend to pack in too many riffs per song than I can handle. Man, from Portland up to Vancouver/Victoria, the PNW has an incredible metal scene.

Also love that new Holocausto track though heads up to the unaware - the recent reissue of the 30 year old debut, "Campo de Extermínio", might suggest ongoing nazi sympathies.

Metal-Archives.com says "In the beginning of their career, they incorporated a Nazi aesthetic, though they only did that in order to shock people (much like Sepultura, Escola Alemã, and others)." Oh, OK then. Boys will be boys, right? Though I gotta say I don't remember Sepultura's Nazi phase.

the lyrics on that record are explicitly anti-nazi. metal had a lot of "expose the brutality of this shit world" philosophy going on back then, which imo eventually attracted people who reveled in said shiftiness.

I mean like here's the song "III Reich":
O CAMPO MENOR SE ENCONTRA EM CHAMASDE FOGO E DESTRUIÇÃONA FORRE DE VIGIASENTINELAS DEIXAM METRALHADORAS DESGUARNECIDASAS SIRENES GRITAM ALTOANUNCIANDO MAIS UM BOMBARDEIOO CHÃO ESTREMECE PELAS ATIRADASCAUSANDO DOR NO CEREBROAWSCHWITZ, CONCENTRAÇÃO DA MORTECREMATÓRIOS, ALIMENTAM-SE DE JUDEUSIII REICH, O MAIOR DOS MASSACRESHITLER, FUHRER DO IMPÉRIO NAZISTAIII REICH
which google translate gives as:
THE LOWER FIELD IS IN FLAMESFIRE AND DESTRUCTIONON THE WATCHSIGNALS LEAVE MACHINERY MISSEDSIRENS CRY HIGHANNOUNCING ONE MORE BOMBARDMENTCAUSING PAIN IN BRAINAWSCHWITZ, DEATH CONCENTRATIONCREMATORIES, FEED FROM JEWSIII REICH, THE GREATEST MASSACREHITLER, FUHRER OF THE NAZI EMPIREIII REICH
this is basic-issue thrash "these are the horrors of war" stuff. it's a fair q to ask "why are you so fascinated by nazi shit?" but Holocausto's response, back when they were new, was exactly the "documenting the horrors of war" standard-issue post-Slayer thing which, while not exactly the most intellectually persuasive argument of all time, doesn't automatically read as "they're literal nazis" for me.
― she carries a torch. two torches, actually (Joan Crawford Loves Chachi), Tuesday, 3 September 2019 01:08 (four years ago) link
(also, finally, per Allmusic: "[Campo de Extermínio's CD reissue in 2003 added the bonus track "Massacre," from the Lost Tapes of Cogumelo compilation, and boasted a prominent front cover disclaimer attempting to renounce any anti-Semitic intentions once and for all.]"

ok so they were Slayer-worshipping tryhards
kind of a relief
speaking of thrash dumbassery, a while back I picked up the Schizo (ITA) demo collection and discovered several versions of a song called Nazi and Proud. they dropped it from their set by the time of their first album but jesus fucking christ

Get the CD version, Simon. It comes with a bonus EP of very atypical stuff from the band - a few reverb-soaked acoustic songs and the rest have post-punk synths. I love the record as well.

Right now if you go to Amazon digital music and search for King Diamond there is a song from last Friday titled "In Your Pants" with the single having a cover featuring a picture of pants.
And it's just some computer boice saying something about pants backwards for three minutes over an electronic beat.
