Will2Kill was a thrash and groove metal band from Recife whose lineup included vocalist Wilfred Gadêlha, guitarist Hugo Medeiros, bassist Eddie Cheever, and drummer Daniel A. Mello. The band released their debut album "Cause For Alarm" in March 2016, recorded at the Bigorna and Pólvora studios. They operated independently within Recife's underground metal scene before eventually splitting up.
Ódio Pago came together in Manaus in late 2023, pulling from groove metal, thrash, nu-metal, and hardcore to build a dense, aggressive sound anchored by the five-piece lineup of David Feitosa, Hian Sátiro, Matt Queiroz, Samuel PS4, and Saulo Bernardino. Their 2024 Doença da Sociedade rehearsal demo captures the band in early formation, with a raw energy that points toward a heavier and more refined direction.
