CONTACTS
New Brazilian Metal band led by the original Sepultura guitar player JAIRO “TORMENTOR” GUEDZ (The Mist), author and co-author of the classic albums “BESTIAL DEVASTATION” and “MORBID VISIONS”. The band counts with ALEX KAFER (Enterro, Explicit Hate, Ex-Necromancer) on bass and vocals, the drummer ALEXANDRE OLIVEIRA (Southern Blacklist, Raising Conviction) and the guitar player MARCELO VASCO (Patria, Mysteriis). “The Rise of Heresy” brings back to the surface the essence of the 80’s Death Metal, exploring a more primitive sound, taking the listener to that era, almost in a nostalgic way. The EP features four original songs and two cover versions of SEPULTURA classics: “Bestial Devastation” and “Troops of Doom”. The material was mastered by Øystein G. Brun (BORKNAGAR) at Crosound Studio (Norway) and will be released October 9th via Nuclear Blast’s digital subsidiary, BLOOD BLAST.

Prelude to Blasphemy
NEW EP OUT NOW
THE TROOPS OF DOOM is a Brazilian Death Metal group founded in 2020 by guitarist Jairo “Tormentor” Guedz – former member of SEPULTURA’s original lineup playing author and co-author to classic records such as Bestial Devastation and Morbid Visions – alongside bassist/vocalist Alex Kafer, drummer Alexandre Oliveira and guitarist Marcelo Vasco, acclaimed graphic artist for the likes of Slayer, Kreator, Machine Head, Soulfly, Hatebreed among others.
The band revisits the essence of ‘80s-style death metal, exploring a more primitive sound that takes its listeners back to that era, while remaining fresh, genuine, and ferociously heavy. Following their critically acclaimed EPs “The Rise Of Heresy” (2020) and “The Absence of Light” (2021), as also their debut full album “Antichrist Reborn” (2022), which has been lauded by both the international music press and fans alike, the band is back gearing up for the release of their new EP, entitled “Prelude to Blasphemy”, bringing two new songs plus the re-edition of their first EPs as bonus tracks. This material is Out Now available as CD worldwide via Alma Mater Records and via Voice Music in the Brazilian territory. The digital release will be distributed by Blood Blast.
