Lobotomia
Brazilian crossover thrash band
Lobotomia is a Brazilian crossover thrash band from São Paulo.
History
Lobotomia was founded in 1984, characterized by hardcore and crossover thrash songs. Its original formation was Caio on vocals, Adherbal Billy Argel on guitars, Grego on drums, and Alfredo on bass.
The punk movement was on the rise and places like Napalm, Carbono 14, Lira Paulistana, Madame Satã, Ácido Plástico and others were welcoming bands of this kind.
At the end of 1985, Lobotomia was part of the Ataque Sonoro compilation by the independent label Ataque Frontal and the change to the band's musical style was already visible on this album, in search for a new sonority and the starting fusion with other heavy sound styles. Along with the bands Cólera, Garotos Podres, Ratos de Porão, Armagedom, Vírus 27, Grinders, Desordeiros, and Auschwitz.
In 1986, with Caio as the vocalist, Adherbal being the guitarist, Grego playing the drums and Zezé being their bassist, they got ready to record what was going to be the first Brazilian "metal punk" record, the style that later would lead to what is known today as crossover.
The vinyl LP – Lobotomia – was recorded and produced by the band while New Face Records collaborated with pressing and distribution in 1987. This album has a characteristic metallic, dark and innovative sound that was different from everything that was heard in terms of punk in Brazil until then. This work includes the re-recording of Faces da Morte and also the band's classics like Só Os Mortos Não Reclamam and Indigentes do Amanhã, with lyrics by Adherbal and Caio.
