Valutazione: Fuori dal normale

Sepultura is a Brazilian thrash metal band, formed in Belo Horizonte in 1984. They are considered one of the major exponents of extreme metal, which, knowing how to wander between different genres, starting initially from a primitive thrash metal of the early days that has incorporated other forms such as death, alternative metal and, in later times, the groove , have thus created an increasingly varied and creative style.

Discharge, Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing (Clay Records,1982)

I Discharge si formarono nel 1977 con una formazione composta da Terry Roberts al canto, Tony Roberts e Roy Wainwright alla chitarra, Nigel Bamford al basso e Akko alla batteria. Poco dopo, Nigel Bamford lasciò il gruppo e Wainwright si spostò al basso. Probabilmente il gruppo, all'epoca doveva avere sonorità molto più simili al Punk rock, ma riuscì a stampare solo un demo con questa formazione. Nel 1979, infatti, il cantante divenne Kelvin Morris, mentre Terry andò a sostituire Akko alla batteria. Questa è considerata la classica formazione dei Discharge.

Robbie Basho, Venus In Cancer (Blue Thumb Records ,1970)

Basho was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and was orphaned as a child. Adopted by the Robinson family, Daniel Robinson, Jr. attended Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Baltimore and was trained for college at Saint James School - an Episcopal school - in Western Maryland. He continued to study at the University of Maryland College Park. Although he played the euphonium in the high school band and sang in middle and high school education, his interest in acoustic guitar grew during his college years as a direct result of his friendships with fellow students John Fahey, Ed. Denson and Max Ochs. In 1959, Basho acquired his first guitar and immersed himself in Asian art and culture. It was during this period that he changed his name to Basho, in honor of the Japanese poet Matsuo Basho.
