Every few months, Brazil’s Imperative label releases a new compilation of smaller and unsigned bands. Volume 12 came out recently and it’s bulging with great metal talent. It’s hard to review a compilation featuring so many different artists from all over the world, so I’m just going to tell you that it’s great instead! I’ve had a few of these releases and I’ve not heard a single song on one being less than “that’s OK”.
The bands featured on this release are as follows:
- ALICE IN HELL (Japan)
- INFACT (Luxembourg)
- CAVERA (Brazil)
- AS DO THEY FALL (Brazil)
- NIHILO (Switzerland)
- STATUE OF DEMUR (Canada)
- DARCRY (Japan)
- DEATH CHAOS (Brazil)
- THE HOLY PARIAH (USA)
- TRIBAL (Brazil)
- HIDE BOUND (Japan)
- PHANTASMAL (USA)
- BASTTARDOS (Brazil)
- METANIUM (USA)
- THE WILD CHILD (Italy)
- ARMED CLOUD (The Netherlands)
- EDUARDO LIRA (Brazil)
- GODVLAD (Portugal)
