2017 - Black Metal from Brazil | Black/Thrash from Japan
Detailed Description
Best known for its majestic 1993 debut album, "The Lamb's Fury," Impurity's role in the evolution of black metal from the original species of its first-wave incarnation into its second-wave iteration is unmistakable. Recognized by some as the "Brazilian Beherit," Impurity inherited and transformed the sound that their Brazilian brethren, Sarcofago, had first developed a few years prior to Impurity's formation. Sex Messiah, on the other hand, emerged from the island nation of Japan within the past decade and to this point has spread its disease through a demo, a series of EPs, and now two split releases. In somewhat of a contrast with Impurity, Sex Messiah's brand of black metal is more reflective of the early European tradition first established by bands such as the great Hellhammer.
