Athenaeum Of Sin Reviews

Immediately, before diving into the music and the review, this is not a religious act; quite the opposite! As soon as the listener presses that play button, one is welcome to the opening piece, Filhos da Corrupção, which welcomes the listener’s ears with an instrumental surge.

As one continues their knocking on hell’s door journey with the second piece, Galileo Galilei, and the remaining ten pieces. Where the listener’s ears encounter a musical spectrum of eleven songs – simultaneously, the twelve-piece is a cover of the Brazilian hardcore punk act Olho Seco.

Reino De Satã is a musical spectrum that truly digs deep back into the roots of the 80s thrash days with that short lyrical touch of Scum by Napalm Death. The early 90s with the influences of DRI, Ratos de Porão (Brazil), and early X-Acto (an old Portuguese hardcore band).

Reino De Satã delivers and provides the listener with raw and blasting-headbanging extreme music -where each song/music is fast, sick and will kick the listener’s teeth and brain cells back to the 80s/early 90s. With raw/blasting instrumental art— simultaneously, all sounds like a drill -drilling through your brain and ears.

Testemunhas de Jeova gives the listener this excellent/well-executed devilmanship, that consists of aggressive-fast pace riffage/shredding of the guitar, floor pounding drum strikes/beats. Vocals consist of raw-shouting vocals which are sung in the band’s native tongue — so that you the listener can feel it with a more intense vibe and give you that sense of exotic sh*t within each song.

Rounding off with the production, which is raw and unpolished. This kind of music should be… while the composition/score of music, lyrics, and instrumental -including the production -the whole thing is well executed.
