That’s why bands like NervoChaos have a vibe of brutality and authenticity. They’re not doing “South American death metal”. They simply took their harsh reality, plus the influences of death metal bands like Morbid Angel, Vader and Sinister, and spit it out as aggressively as they could. It is clear that NervoChaos, with 25 years on the road, is part of the oldest generation of the Brazilian extreme scene – along with Sepultura, Krisiun, Rebaelliun or Abhorrence, just to name a few – they have the experience, the pedigree and the technical know-how to detonate there.
That’s exactly what “All Colors Of Darkness”, the tenth (!) studio album by the São Paulo quintet, is: black death metal, done in the most abrasive way a band can do, with the brutal atmosphere we can expect from Brazilian bands of extreme metal. With lyrical themes that revolve around the ‘darkest realms of Satanism and black magic’, NervoChaos summons ‘death metal’ as few bands can do these days – with a brutal, technical approach and an effective depth to the themes. . You could see the buzzards flying outside the rehearsal room during song creation, but overall it’s all death metal and darkness on “All Colors Of Darkness”.
“All Colors Of Darkness” is out today on CD and digital formats via Emanzipation Productions in Europe and the US; and via Tumba Records/Xaninho Discos/Voice Music in Brazil. The LP edition (black and transparent orange vinyls, each limited to 300 units) will be available in May abroad and in the second half of the year in Brazil. Orders are available here:
