(Black Hole Productions)
Release date: December 2010
Running time: 38:02
 
Review: It's bands like this that occasionally restore my faith in the worm-eaten carcass of a genre that is grindcore, or maybe electrocute the genre back to life into an actually scary, ferocious flesh-eating zombie again... Expurgo is the genuine article! All-out, savage and truly passionate-sounding band with no fucking around with any kind of trendy bullshit! This band gives it their all, each song totally kicks ass, the song writing is simply never ever lazy, one bad-ass riff after the other, this is the definition of pure grindcore bliss. 29 songs and absolutely nothing to throw away in there at all! Sound production is absolutely dead-on, fantasticly gut-churning bass lines, full-sounding heavy and piercing guitars and a masterful vocal performance, my idea of perfect grind vocals, low register, raucous, roaring growls and occasional shrieking screams that always sound powerful. I'd compare their sound to a cross between early Inhume mixed with Dead Infection at their best and maybe some early Brutal Truth injected in as well, I think Expurgo is just as good as any of these bands. Rhythmically, they're not 100 percent blastbeat all the time but that's a plus point in my book, they let their compositions breath with welcome crusty d-beats and a few doom-ridden consonnances. The drum sound is superbly bouncy and all the blastbeats are as devastating as anything that has ever come out of Pete "Terrorizer" Sandoval's drumkit. The use of movie samples is always really cool, quick and non-intrusive with the flow of the album.This being a Black Hole production you can also expect top notch beautiful cover design, a well-conceived thick booklet... The lyrics also feel just as visceral as the music, a truly honest expression of rage and anger... As you can tell I love this shit to death! My favorite band out of Brazil or even worldwide right now. This is a true must-have, don't miss out on this band definitely worth getting excited about...
