CLAUSTROFOBIA I See Red CD (2009)

Brazil has been quietly producing some of the most ferocious death and thrash metal on the planet since the mid-80s, and the rest of the world has been sleeping on it. Don't be that person.

Claustrofobia are part of a lineage that includes Sarcófago, Krisiun, and Korzus, a Brazilian metal tradition that runs harder and meaner than most scenes that get more column inches. I See Red, their 2009 effort, lands in that brutal sweet spot where death metal's low-end weight collides with thrash's forward momentum and neither one blinks. This is the kind of record that rewards people who've already been through the obvious stuff and want something with teeth they haven't seen yet. South American metal is its own ecosystem and Claustrofobia are a worthy entry point.
