PLAY: Algiers, Body Count, Code Orange, Ihsahn, Igorrr, Sepultura





A questão com 2020 é que está impiedoso em ótimos lançamentos, não deixando aquela "baixa" esperada de uma virada de década. E o lado mais pesado tem falado mais alto em obras instigantes:



ALGIERS


O grupo é interessantíssimo, faz um som original e já constitui uma discografia de 3 discos irrepreensíveis. Talvez ofuscados por fenômenos como Idles, têm personalidade, variedade e criatividade, trilhando um caminho muito próprio:


Algiers - "There Is No Year" (2020)









BODY COUNT


Clássico noventista, a porradaria liderada por Ice-T e com forte conscientização política escreveu um capítulo de destaque em 2017, com o disco "Bloodlust". A dose promete se repetir no novo disco:


Body Count - "Carnivore" (2020)









CODE ORANGE


Outro grupo interessantíssimo e original. Dentre os lançamentos de metal da década passada, não deixaríamos de citar "Forever" (2017) como um marco. O novo disco chega mais moderno, sem perder em empolgação:


Code Orange - "Underneath" (2020)









IHSAHN


Certeza de intensidade e qualidade, após uma sequência avassaladora que incluiu "Eremita" (2012), "Das Seelenbrechen" (2013), "Arktis" (2016) e "Ámr" (2018), uma das mentes mais insanas do metal moderno solta, por ora, "apenas" um EP com três sons magistrais e duas covers potentes:


Ihsahn - "Telemark" (2020)









IGORRR


Novamente nos empolgamos com o ano que se inicia, pois traz outro grande nome da música pesada contemporânea: o francês Gautier Serre, que atende pelo já consolidado nome de Igorrr, retorna após o excelente "Savage Sinusoid" de 2017:


Igorrr - "Spirituality And Distortion" (2020)


"His participation makes a complete sense to me and to this track: who’s got a better voice than George Fisher’s voice and could fit better on chiptune 8 bit music? Heaviness versus its opposite, I found on this track the perfect match, the perfect balance."








SEPULTURA


Aqui nosso maior destaque até agora, não sendo novidade que os brasileiros vêm numa crescente criativa desde a já longínqua e consolidada chegada de Derrick Green, passando pela entrada de Eloy Casagrande na batera desde 2013. Aqui, temos o ápice, que já poderia ter sido apontado em "Machine Messiah" de 2017, mas vem ainda mais maduro, dinâmico e original neste petardo:


Sepultura - "Quadra" (2020)

OS MELHORES DISCOS DE CADA ANO: ANOS 60




O fechamento da década dos chamados "anos 10" nos fez viajar pelos últimos dez anos (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019), mas sempre retornam as discussões sobre as décadas anteriores. Sim, pelo passar do tempo, o famoso "envelheceu bem", os eternos debates sobre se tal ou qual disco ou artista é tão grande como dizem, clássico ou não, menos ou mais influente.


Some-se, ainda, a maturação do hip hop, em seus trinta e poucos, e suas diversas inovações nesta década que se encerra. Clássicos do rock dos anos 60 também andaram completando seus cinquentinhas, o que gera homenagens, resenhas e novos olhares sobre grandes obras. O mesmo com o movimento psicodélico, os 50 anos do Woodstock, ou da Tropicália brasileira, para ficar só em alguns exemplos.


Neste 2020, por fim, acabamos de comemorar o que seriam os 50 anos do Heavy Metal - tendo como base o lançamento do primeiro disco do Black Sabbath, teoria mais comum e mais aceita de "criação" ou "marco" do estilo.


Nisso, tendo por base inclusive nossa já publicada "timeline do rock" (em duas partes, anos 60 e anos 70), resolvemos voltar rapidamente ano por ano, elegendo simbolicamente alguns "melhores" do blog e, ainda, citando algumas outras descobertas:
