History & Biography
The dyslexic band was founded in 1994, in Leme, a suburb of Sâo Paulo, Brazil. It featured two brothers. Marcus had begun playing his guitar in 1991. Early drummers were Ivan and Tueio, but the line-up remained relatively stable over the years as the band recorded for Destroyer Records and opened for the likes of Slayer and Napalm Death. The group initially had demos called Saint War and Manifestacoes. The Brazilian thrash metallers signed with Candlelight Records and issued an album called I See Red in 2009. The band spent the autumn of 2009 in Europe touring. The group had previously toured Europe in 2007 partly with Vader. A demo called Sangre emerged in 2011. The Brazil-based thrash metal band had an EP called Swamp Loco in 2018. Rafael Yamada was the new bassist.
