Last Thursday, the 29th, Marcus D'Angelo Behind The Riff by Jackson Guitars, the famous American manufacturer of heavy metal guitars. In it, the Claustrofobia recounts the behind-the-scenes story of the riff for the track " The Encrypted ," which is part of the album Unleeched (2022).
“It was a pleasure to be able to exemplify, through Jackson's official media, how I developed my way of playing metal with this Brazilian and South American flavor, not only bringing the experience of mixing rhythms but applying it in a hybrid way without losing the essence and spirit of true metal. In this way, I believe I am not only showing the Brazilian style of metal to the world, but also representing and expressing tropical metal in general,” the musician revealed in a statement released to the press.
"I've had a genuine relationship with these Jackson guitars since 1994. These instruments complete me, and besides being the best guitars for my needs, the brand's stance truly represents me: Attitude, Authenticity, and Loyalty.".
In addition to " Behind The Riff ," Claustrofobia's songs "Força Além da Força" and "Neuro Massacre" were included in the instrument manufacturer's official Spotify playlist. The first is a Portuguese version of "Strength Beyond Strength" by Pantera .
Unleeched is the band's seventh album and was released in digital and physical formats in Brazil by the Wikimetal Music .
