IMPURITY Bonfim Moritvri Mortivis Vinyl (2012)

Brazilian black metal has always operated on a different frequency, something rawer and more feral than the Scandinavian template, and Impurity are proof that São Paulo had its own unholy war to wage. Bonfim Moritvri Mortivis is the sound of that war, a slab of war metal filth that owes as much to Sarcófago's foundational chaos as it does to the primitive blast of Blasphemy.

This 2012 pressing sits comfortably in the lineage of South American black/death extremity, where production values are a moral position, not an oversight. Impurity have been grinding out this kind of ritualistic, cavern-mouthed savagery since the mid-90s, and this record is essential documentation of a scene that never needed anyone's approval to exist. If you already own INRI on vinyl, you know exactly why this belongs in your collection.

12" vinyl, 2012 pressing. Standard black vinyl. Handle with the reverence it deserves, or don't, it probably prefers the disrespect.
