The harsher side of Brazil

While Brazil’s Sepultura was garnering seemingly all of the South American metal coverage in the U.S. press, many bands were yet to be discovered there. Raebelliun and Krisiun, perhaps the most extreme bands in the death-metal genre, upped the ante for metal bands worldwide with hyper-speed drumming and unrelenting guitar onslaughts. Krisiun, on tour in support of its latest release, Bloodshed, has done many treks across our country and amassed quite a following along the way. Brothers Max and Moyses Kolesne, along with guitarist extraordinaire Alex Camargo, have formed a trio whose speed, precision and depth is unrivalled. Check out the “Murderer” or “Slain Fate” MP3 samples on their site at www.krisiun.com.br or visit The Boardwalk this Tuesday and hear for yourself. Krisiun shares the stage with Hate Eternal, Incantation, Into Eternity and All Shall Perish. The all-ages show starts at 8:30 p.m. at The Boardwalk, located at 9426 Greenback Lane in Orangevale.
