Rock in Rio performance , Gangrena Gasosa releases another provocative new single. The song "Headboomer" is an ironic critique of metal fans who adopt a conservative stance, exuding prejudice and arrogance.
Available on all digital platforms, “Headboomer” was first presented to the public during the band's performance at Rock in Rio, which was broadcast on television by Canal Bis . Now, the public can check it out online via streaming and appreciate the sextet's acidic lyrical content.
The single is a fierce jab at "reactionary" headbangers, even mentioning Anitta and Pabllo Vittar in the lyrics – artists who cause quite a bit of controversy in the world of heavy music.
