New Album Soon!

We are currently working on our 3rd album, we've recorded almost everything and we are using a lot of instruments and stuff, it's been a hell of a journey. This time we choose to record & mix at our own personal studios. Funny thing this album has the best sound yet. We've been working on this album for 3 or 4 years now, slowly.

We are using: sampling, guitars, accordeon, drums, flute, oboé, marimba, vibraphone, xylophone, cello, doublebass, percussion, piano, theremin and a lot of keyboards like church organ or hammond.


What about our past? We've started in 1997 (that's 12 years now!), recorded 2 albums and 3 ep's and played a lot of gigs in nice places and the worst you can imagine. We even had to pay to play at some places. As the profet said "when there's no more room in hell, the motherfuckers will walk the earth."

Influences:

Cheesy romantic and popular music from Portugal, bells & religious processions with saints & shit, popular marches and polkas with hysterical lady singers with huge breasts & sweaty unshaved armpits, noises & extreme noises, tattoos with mispelead wurds, general decadence, dignity & truth combined with bad temper, songs like "Tudo Passará" by Nelson Ned or albums like "Scum" by Napalm Death, movies like Miracolo a Milano or Dawn of the Dead and dead dictators hanged head down.

Sounds Like:

Some say this, some say that but we never agree.
