Brazilian crossover/thrash metal/hardcore punk legends Ratos De Porao return with their first full-length in eight years, "Seculo Sinistro." Ratos De Porao's Portuguese lyrics (with English translation in the Alternative Tentacles version) focus on day-to-day life in Brazil, spotlighting political and social issues as only they can. The songs present a positive outlook and hope of a better future, tempered with dark humor. Only a band of this caliber possesses the rare chemistry and technical proficiency to live up to the standard of Brazilian hardcore legends.
