Rafael Masini: Starting another edition of Orgulho Nacional. Today I'm passing the baton to Nando Machado to carry on, because he had a great idea, a great choice, a band that has a new album out. Tell us about it, Nando Machado.
Nando Machado: This time we're going to listen to the magnificent Attomica, one of the great bands from Brazil, playing pure thrash metal since the 80s, in its purest essence. They're back now with an album called "4," Attomica is coming in strong, a really cool band from São José dos Campos. I saw several of their shows in the 80s. At the time, Attomica was neck and neck with Sepultura and Korzus, you know. They were the bands that dominated the Brazilian thrash scene, and they released this excellent album called "4," and now we're going to listen to the first song from the album, which is called "Blood Bath"!
Daniel Dystyler: That was "Blood Bath," chosen by Nando Machado of Attomica. I also went to several Attomica shows in the 80s, a really cool band. Sensational choice, Nando Machado!
