Claustrofobia “AQUI NÃO” this Wednesday, the 14th, featuring João Gordo from Ratos de Porão. The track is accompanied by a music video created by Cyber Dog with the help of Artificial Intelligence – where the band explored the use of this technology for the first time.
Regarding the single, vocalist and guitarist Marcus D'Angelo commented: “The song is a 100% Brazilian Thrash-Core-Death crossover, with biting lyrics that resonate with different audiences, but which essentially make it clear that we will never be contaminated by human traps, amplified by the virtual world and dominant in the current scene, especially in Brazil.”
He continues: “The track reaffirms that we will not give up our principles, even at a time when everyone seems obliged to surrender or adapt to some convenient rule. And nothing would be more appropriate than to call on João Gordo, the absolute master of Brazilian Crossover, to vociferate this resistance with us, spreading discomfort exactly to those who deserve to feel it.”.
João Gordo added: “It’s an honor for me to participate in a Claustrofobia song. I’ve already participated in songs by almost all the big metal bands in Brazil — Sepultura, Krisiun, Nervosa — and I always said: ‘Damn, man, Claustrofobia was the only one missing.’ When I heard the song, I thought it was awesome. Claustrofobia is one of the bastions of angry metal in Brazil. It’s really angry. I’ve seen their shows from the side of the stage and I was impressed by the fury, the hatred, and the bloodlust of these two brothers, man. Participating in this song was a pleasure. It’s a conscious song, with good lyrics, you know? And it’s in Portuguese, which I really value, especially being sung here in our country. That’s it. There’s not much to say. It’s fucking awesome.”
The song is the first new work since the album Unleeched , released by the American label M-Theory Audio and available in Brazil through the Wikimetal Music label.
