Obscure Brazilian thrash, Extermino - despite suffering from a rather awful drum sound - puked out this corker of a debut album back in '88, but it was only known to die-hard fans of the thrash scene. There were so many cool South American bands back in the mid to late '80s, and Extermino were one of those. As a band, the vocal sound is quite dry and raspy, but effective for a thrash record, and then there's that bubbly bass and some pretty twisted riffs and even with a vicious speed this still offers some super-dry melody, particularly on the likes of 'Ordem E Progresso' and the swirling solos of 'Vencidos'. Again, the album does suffer from a weird drum hiss but it's still a worthwhile addition to any collection that leans more to blackened death/thrash.
7/10
