Headhunter DC - _And the Sky Turns Black (The Dark Age Has Come)_
(WWIII, 2001)

Not often do I say this, but I don't believe that I would even consider comparing this outfit to anyone else. Headhunter (Death Cult)'s label, WWIII, feels it necessary to draw a similarity to Krisiun and Raebelliun; not me. This Brazilian four-piece is rich in both craft and skill. Deeply strained but clear vocals, accentuated by phenomenal drum work, are a couple of mighty big selling points for these longhairs. Even more attractive is this group's practice of involving the listener in each of the nine tracks by developing the material from good to better to great from start to finish. The bass is evident, as I like it, and the wreckage is ubiquitous. "From Dream to Nightmare" is all I need to say to represent the aforementioned attributes on this astounding CD. With the addition of the two bonus tracks of enlightening truculence, you are sure as hell in for a rude-ass awakening! Discover something new and find out why Headhunter DC are called the "forefathers" of the Brazilian underground.
