D.E.R. “Quando a Esperança Desaba” CD

D.E.R. - Quando a Esperança DesabaI believe "Quando a Esperança Desaba" may be considered the first "full-length" release from Brazilian grinders D.E.R. (on Cospe Fogo Gravações), but even with 16 tracks this is more like a 7" EP at a mere 13:34 in length! Expect nothing but raw, in your face, old school grindcore with shitloads of blastbeats and tremolo picking, plus barked vocals that sound like they have a hint of dirty distortion happening. Seriously, it's rare that a song tops one minute, and they just tear straight through with no remorse. Sometimes you can't even tell that one song ends and another begins! Every now and then they'll toss in some high screams to back up or contrast the core vocals, and on rare occasion they'll ease up on the speed just a tad, but... these cats do not do breakdowns. It seems to be all about speed here, and the entire disc's over in a flash. I don't have the complete package, so I'm not sure if any lyrics or translations are included, but with song titles that I was able to deduce translating to phrases such as "The Fall of Your Dogma" and "Thus is the Will of Social Justice", it would seem that D.E.R. means business with their content as well, which is always a plus when it comes to raging grind.

D.E.R. "Eu Decido Quem Vai Morrer"
D.E.R. "A Vitória e o Fim"

If you're in the US, there's only one copy left in stock at Crimes Against Humanity, though their mp3 download store does have the album for just $6 if you're interested...
