What
impresses me most in Heavy Metal itself is the quality and diversity that the
underground has since come bands all the time, and some come with unique
quality, not being afraid to dare and to mix styles.
This
is the case of the Californian band Black Oil, arriving in 2015 with his second
work, titled "Resist to Exist".
For
those unaware the Black Oil is headed by Brazilian guitarist Addasi Addasi,
who placed great Latin elements in the band sounding like himself explains:
"Brazilian
music is very rich and has many really fucking musicians and bands in Brazil,
who need more space and respect. Everywhere the Black Oil plays, gain the people
respect and likes a lot of Brazilian elements in our music, I try to do
everything without exaggeration, to flavor compositions with Brazilian rhythms
and let our identity."
This
Brazilian musicality combined with Thrash, Death and Groove Metal, shows an
explosive and contagious sound, beyond the message of revolt and revolution
that the album .
"This
album was written during important moments of revolution in the
world, most of the songs are based on what was happening and continues to
happen in Brazil, Mexico, Palestine ... In fact this is the way we have to
shout to everyone which has much wrong things happening and it's time to change."
And
this message is clearly explicit in each composition, and that is the case with
"Rise Up", "Cállate" (which includes the participation of
renowned bassist Tony Campos and "the monster of the sticks" Aaron Rossi),
"Combustion" (which has the participation of Brazilian musician
Silverio Pessoa, Master of brazilian Northeastern rhythms) which have powerful and easy
assimilation riffs, with a good mixture between Thrash/Death/Groove
combined with musicality Latin, leaving aside the technique, but showing much
feeling.
"Resist
to Exist" also has the participation of Ricardo Vignini (brazilian
guitarist and music producer), the Bolivian Hector Guerra (a Latin
rhythms' studious), Zero (known for his work with the trio of Hip Hop El Vuh), and
drummer Raymond Herrera (Fear Factory, Asesino and Brujeria former).
"The
album has a lot of cool people playing and producing all did a great job, it
took a while to record some guests because their tours with their bands, but in the
end everything went well and I am already preparing the next album, which will feature some guests too.
I am
very grateful for the participation of everyone: Tony Campos, Aaron Rossi, Hector
Guerra, Zero El Vuh, Ricardo Vignini, Silverio Pessoa, Raymond Herrera, Rick
Piveta, Rodney de Asis, Mosquito Capoeira ... To our friends in the production Cristian
Machado, Logan Mader and Erik Reiches."
The
modern sound that permeates the album is very tasteful, as well as production,
which left everything extremely heavy and aggressive, sounding simple but very
efficient.
And
in that tangle of influences and modernity, the musicality Latin is one of the
highlights, especially in the choruses of some tracks, which mix the Portuguese
and Spanish, but bringing the same meaning of the words, something different
and very interesting, which still leaves the message further latent revolution.
Addasi
comments this peculiarity of the band and says it was something natural in the
compositions:
"It
came all naturally, especially living here in California spoken much Spanish
mixing with English, and also by the Latin roots of the Black Oil.
And it works, the people likes so much this mix of English and Spanish, English and
Portuguese and even "portunhol."
In
fact, the Black Oil shows plenty of character and an abrasive sound, full of
life, and why not a new breath of life for Heavy Metal. Too bad many people do not
look to the underground and see themselves as we have excellent bands that
surround us and make a difference.
The band recently recorded the first clip to "Resist to Exist", for the
track "Callete", which includes the participation of Tony Campos and
Aaron Rossi, in a strong and exciting song, which in fact is the album's highlight.
Be
sure to know more this excellent band from the underground, who takes with great
pride to all the world his passion for Brazil.
