Hello brothers and sisters, I'm Maurício Knevitz and I'm from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. I found this forum a few years ago searching for hardcore and punk music downloads, but only now I decided to become a member, though I have made several downloads here before. Talkin' about myself, I'm a huge punk rock, hardcore, rockabilly and garage rock fan and I have two bands. I play bass on both. One is called Viruskorrosivus and we play a brutal and raw hardcore highly influenced by Poison Idea, Black Flag and Extreme Noise Terror, with lyrics in portuguese. The lyrics have varied themes. The other band is called Shade of Mankind, a deathgrind/crust band with lyrics in english about human condition and decadence, cultural terrorism and negativism. I'm working on recordings with the two bands now, but both have some demos. You can hear Viruskorrosivus here and Shade of Mankind here. I have a blog about music too, but all texts are in portuguese. If you want to check it anyway, here is it: http://badmusic4badpeople.blogspot.com.br/ I do not consider myself as an anarchist, although I sympathize with many anarchist ideas. I despise any partisanship by both sides, left-wing or right-wing politics. I intend to bring here some brazilian and hardcore stuff whenever possible. Lastly, my english is not so good, so sorry about any mistake.
