Aloha kākou. The fear of offending others and being offended. Uncomfortable Truths and Comforting Lies. Academia is a beast with no natural predators. As Douglas Murray explains, how those that are offended by free speech are more dangerous than we can begin to understand. Being accused of being a racist, for example is a sure way to shut down any debate. “Your comment is racist, and it offends…

Imbued with acerbic criticism and immersed with misty, dense sonority, the Brazilian trio ACIDEMIA don't deny their roots, bringing in the DNA elements from bands such as Electric Wizard, Sleep, Windhand, and Ufomammut. The corrosive veil evoked by Henrique Soares (bass, vox), Mateus Varela (guitar), and Thiago Granetto (drums) seems to permeate every element of their sound, which brings us to the band's current moment where they tread the path to 'Podridão' (2021), their first studio album.

Mainly influenced by the current global moment, the lyrics of the album Podridão (the band's first work to have compositions in the native language) talk about human misery, suffering, uncertainty, moving towards to become the densest, well-prepared and captivating material of the band created in 2015 in the city of Lages. That's what we start to see now with the debut of his first single, the track "Névoas de Ácido," available exclusively here.

Check it out!

LYRICS   (translated)

Who will say what is right? Extinct acting by desperation Feeding with pain Annihilating their own fear

The masked despair The same blood running through the veins A raw face The truth in a reflection

Existence, black magic Illusion, despair Seven lit candles Ritual and darkness

The disturbed mind, ordering to act No feeling, deep immensity The disturbed mind, ordering to act No feeling, deep immensity

The dusk is near Mists near to the surface Scream of horror and despair Will it be an order for the next kills?

Acid corroding through the skin Every drop is a suffering, eternal moment You only live once, don't you?

SOME BUZZ

The band Acidemia carries a slow, dirty and dissonant sound proposal composed by a power trio that originated in the city of Lages, Brazil. Around 2015 they started with Jams without commitment just to relax, inspired by bands like Black Sabbath, Electric Wizard and Sleep with Rubens Silva on guitar, Thiago Granetto on drums and Henrique P. Soares on bass and vocals. Through some riffs played in Jams, set out below songs that would be a basis for the band's first EP entitled 'Extinction, recorded at Fatboo Studios and released in late 2018, with six songs that portray the hatred expelled by society.

Since then the band started playing at festivals promoting their first EP, and one of the shows was at Santana's Sunday where they shared the stage with the bands Balthazar and Losna, having as their first audiovisual record the song entitled “Slow Children ” which opens the EP.

In July 2019 at the event Sétima Semana do Rock Catarinense, the band Acidemia performed in the famous acoustic shell of Joca Neves square located in Lages, showing a slow and unprecedented sound for the general public. From this show in the square came the second material entitled 'Live in Swamp,' with six songs played live, one of them unpublished entitled "Podridão," showing that the band was already starting work for the first full album with a new identity and with lyrics in Portuguese.

The new songs continued to appear in 2020. However, with the departure of Rubens Silva, Mateus Varela started to play guitar, continuing the composition of the album. In March, there was the first show with a new lineup and some new songs. With the advance of the pandemic, naturally as ideas that emerged for the album were turned to something more intimate and darker of the human being, related to anxiety and depression. With this new lineup influences were increased in the identity from bands like Monolord, Ufomammut, Old One, Windhand, making the sound more experimental and abstract. In 2021, they started recording their first album entitled 'Podridão.'

Aloha kākou. The stench of excrement wafting from unsocial media by members of Congress and the Fake News Media is like hopscotching through the streets of San Fran-feces dodging excreta. Much of this insalubrious malodorous doo-doo spillover on cable network news is tiresome. Lately they are losing much of their audience over the constant lies and malinformation. Then there’s the hilarious stuff…
