    I wonder how these guys feel about demons? Hmmm... This tight Brazilian trio slams out an incredible 27 songs here! The band blasts away at hyper-sonic speeds, rivaling some of the better black metal I've heard, but the vocals take a definite low-end grindy/deathy growl.

They pull of such a tight and heavy rhythm section.

I'm sure people feel the need to attach 'grind' to it also because…Dead Zine 1999Reviewed by GrindboyThe first two things I noticed about this cd are that all the lyrics are in Portuguese and they have a female drummer. First the lyrics. Not since Horde have I heard an album this focused on evil being bad. As the band name and album title go (I'm assuming Demonocido translates roughly into "killing demons" or some such), so goes the entire album. Antidemon massacres Satan, hate, and violence,…
