We don't know about you, but here at Wikimetal , we've stopped counting the days of quarantine. However, if you think that means the end of new lists to discover Brazilian rock and metal bands, you're happily very wrong, my friend!
In the fifth part of this series (see the first , second , third , and fourth ), we will introduce the bands Kuazar, Mirrors Room , Camurça , and Medjay . Ready to meet them? Check it out below.
1) The Paraguayan band Kuazar recently released the music video for "Obscure & Violent," the first single from their comeback album, Hybrid Power . The video, which was filmed in Los Angeles, USA, and the cities of Asunción and Ciudad del Este, Paraguay, reinforces the track, which speaks about the violent acts of society that seem to be intrinsic to human nature.
The band, formed by Josema Gonzalez (vocals and guitar), Marcelo Saracho (bass) and drummer Marcelo Moreira , formerly a member of the bands Circle II Circle, Almah and Graham Bonnet Band , has been standing out in shows in Latin America, sharing the stage with Megadeth, Kreator, Behemoth, Sepultura , among others.

2) The alternative metal and post-grunge , Mirrors Room , from Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro, recently released their first EP, Welcome To The Mirrors Room .
This project serves as an introduction of the group to the world, inviting listeners to discover the band's sound and composition, which, across the EP's 8 tracks, explores themes such as feelings, personality, and everything that goes through the members' minds.
Mirrors Room consists of Gustavo Amorim (Vocals/Guitar), Marlom Santos (Guitar), Victor Lima (Drums), and Rodolfo Prado (Bass). Check out the EP Welcome To The Mirrors Room :
3) Camurça recently released their first EP, Nuncacabando a dense and heavy sound.
More recently, the band, composed of Enzo Camurça (actor and musician) and Lucas Laranjeira (artistic producer and guitarist), shared their first album, Carnaval Em Preto e Branco , with the public, which can be seen below:
4) Last but not least, Medjay , a band that has been gaining prominence in the music scene recently, is promoting the release of their new album, Sandstorm , which is scheduled for release soon.
The band, whose sound and style are inspired by Egyptian culture, was scheduled to tour the country in May with Armored Dawn, Korzus, Dr Sin, Jimmy from Matanza, and also have a South American tour with Vikram starting in June, but new dates will be announced.
