(review) Headspawn – Pretty Ugly People e.p.

South America never ceases to amaze with so many unexplored bands and releases coming out every day. Brazil is well known country in underground and extreme metal scene with bands like Sarcofago, Mystifier, Sepultura, Ratos De Porao immediately springing to mind. Headspawn are a trio from Brazil and this is their long awaited live e.p. containing four songs. Headspawn play that street metal, mixture of thrash and groove metal. While listening to the songs I can not avoid comparison to some Sepultura influences in some world ethno crossover parts of the song structures, also harsh thrash metal bands from the country´s rich metal history and glorious bands. Vocals are harsh but not death metal growling, rather more thrash shouting with more growl voice. But, they in a second turn into more powerful melodic clean vocals that create an atmosphere of melody in the midst of carnage. My personal favorites are Satan Goss with that thundering bass parts and switches from thrash to groove, also Worthless Piece Of Shit, a lesson in street metal. Check out this band, you will not be sorry.
