ANTHARES - NO LIMITE DA FORÇA
A FORGOTTEN SOUTH AMERICAN GEM.
Somewhere in the city of São Paulo, Brazil a band called Anthares had their home base. Not much is known about the band besides their names and that they released this 12 inch vinyl in 1987 through Devil Discos.
A label that also released material by brazilian thrashers Korzus, Dorsal Atlantica and Ratos De Porao. I haven't found any interviews or reviews written about the band or the album, but I know that Anthares made a comeback lately (2015) and finally recorded a followup to No Limite Da Força, which was their only release until just months ago (O Caos da Razão).
Anthares brings you some potent thrash in the veins of early Exodus, Exumer or Slayer to namedrop a more known band. The production is a bit on the lowbudget side though but it's not terrible or anything.
Anthares delivers fast and unrelenting thrash all sung in their native tongue. With a strong vibe of primitive old school thrash. More like your typical 1985 release than an album from the late 80's. Which I definitely like. I'm completely charmed by this album even if the musicianship isn't fully on par with the giants of the genre.
So expect some face-ripping thrash in it's truest form. I really like their vocalist / madman Henrique with his psychotic falsetto screams and those fast Slayer noodling solos that Zé Aranha and Cristian delivers.
Just look at the album artwork, it exudes greatness and Anthares surely delivers. The album was reissued in 2009 by Blood and Iron Records so the album is perhaps not completely impossible to find.
