5 stars So this is where my journey begins inside the Satanic world Munha Club (Club is just there for comic and irreverent effects - that can not escape a review of SS3, as well as a huge lenght of text in a parentheses).

The First album of "Trilogy of Putrefacion", the sound of SS3 clearly changes without necessarily sound differently from the previous works. In other words, if before we saw attacks on various kinds of musical styles, including some loudest sounds and even some hints of "noisy music", here we see an attack aimming directly the dogmas. The sniper has replaced the "day of rage" - and surprisingly, the sound disturbing as it is, is enjoyable!

The opening of "Lambada Post Mortem" is already an excellent example of this. Although not necessarily a Brazilian musical style, it is dismantled as it deserves. "Cabra da peste negra", whose name already evokes northeastern traditions, follows the same line of deconstruction - even with a flute segment that seems to carry the music forward, only to strike it down. Two things caught my attention enough: the licks of electric guitar and bass pattern very present and striking. The acoustic guitar is also marked on tracks like "Tagua York City Molestus Ostinato". The string set also sometimes appears, and surprisingly not to destroy as much as I imagined that would.

"DF DEATH TRAP" is perhaps where the group most shows the general intentions of the project. There is no instrumental line to follow the rules! No rest! No mercy! "Luciferi Tum tum" slightly returns to normal (I said that !?). As well as "Molly Cancer" (again !?), this time with a strong riff of electric guitar. "Badtriptonic # 14," perhaps one of the boldest (which would later be placed in the collection "Mó Bad") also shows up full of moods. "Herpes Soul & Samba Zoster" reminds me of certain southern American sounds assembled together with the samba in time changes and bizarre markings that only SS3 can do (and being enjoybale!). The last three tracks are a bit heavier and striking, which establishes an intimate contact between the album and the stroke you just developed.

As the first album of the "Trilogy of Putrefacion", the meat is freshly slaughtered to take advantage of its putrefaction calmly and full of Satanism devotion.
