ATTOMICA – Disturbing The Noise CD OG 2004

Killer album, 2004 Cogumelo pressing and very rare.

Attomica are one of the biggest names of the old Brazilian thrash scene: like many others, they were obscured by the way more popular Sepultura, but they definitely emerged from the darkness and achieved remarkable success, along with other national acts like Holocausto, Mutilator, Vulcano and the like: all names heavily influenced from the rising death and black currents. Attomica made no exception on their beginnings, before changing their recipe a couple of times. So, whereas their s/t debut (1987) was put up with the clear intention of becoming 'the fastest band in the world' (sic), bordering on black metal before black metal itself was born, Limits of Insanity (1989) was a half-misstep since it tilted towards a more heavy/speed style, and I can imagine why it's rarely mentioned among cult old school Brazilian metal records. But then Disturbing the Noise came, just in time for the final shots of our beloved genre (think of Arise or Idolatry, and just before Tapping the Vein and Epidemic of Violence, among others), and Attomica suddenly returned on the 'brutality' radar of metalheads, rejoining the club they had left two years earlier. And believe me, the artwork is just the tip of the iceberg of what we will find on here.

FFO Sepultura, Sadus, Dark Angel, Mutilator.
