black metal is funny cuz when I first started I was like "yeah all of its good it all sounds mostly the same anyways" but after a while, I've gotten so picky. when I started I would've been like "yeah this sounds pretty standard and fine" now I'm like "what the FUCK is this alien theme song ass keyboard notes in the background bruh this band fucking sucks" "these vocals sound like dogshit, too blackened death metal sounding for me" "the production quality is too good I can hear the instruments. they must be posers" "where's double bass drums" would've sounded like scrawled ramblings i'd find on the walls of a psychiatric inpatient ward to me a while ago

Spent today recording bass for the new record. Eight tracks done. Next it’s just lead guitars and vocals and this album is in the bag.

Clan Dos Mortos Cicatriz — Débil (Sentient Ruin Laboratories)

Débil collects records originally released between 2017 and 2022 by Brazilian blackened punk outfit Clan Dos Mortos Cicatriz. The reliably sharp-eared freaks at Sentient Ruin Laboratories have made the decision to sequence the compilation in reverse-chronological order: songs from the recent Senil EP (2022) appear first, and listeners track back to tunes from the band’s first self-titled and untitled digital releases. The music is hair-raisingly exciting, and that sequencing decision makes Débil a stylistically engaging record.

The compilation is also an indispensable crash course in Clan Dos Mortos Cicatriz’s vigorous musical virtues — if “virtues” is the right word. “Good” also feels like the wrong modifier, especially for the music from Senil, which will pleasure you in direct proportion to the degree to which you feel pummeled senseless (a combo that will make sense to some — you know who you are…). Check out “Vértebra (A Revolta da Carne)”: its top-speed flirtations with D-beat’s rhythmic chaos; its käng-punk snarl; its saturation in so much reverb that the resulting sonic smear might precipitate an attack of vertigo. That’s all in the blackened punk playbook, for sure, but Clan Dos Mortos Cicatriz perform with conviction and impressive venom. It’s lively, and it’s nasty.

This reviewer finds the record increasingly enjoyable the deeper into it you get, and the older the tunes become. The early songs buzz and hum with trebly energy, and hints of Void, early Government Issue and Agnostic Front c. Victim in Pain sharpen up the already keen edges. “Palma Lisa” moves along with a demented hardcore strut that will have you flashing on John Stabb at his most chaotic. Yikes—scar tissue, indeed. For anyone who’s been sleeping on this band (hello), Débil is a wake-up call. A bracing, battering scream, with guitars.
