5 Great Brazilian Metal Bands You Need To Hear
1. Ancora
As one of the most well followed bands on this list, Ancora may already be a familiar name to some South American readers. However, they remain almost completely undiscovered in the northern hemisphere despite having released a catalogue of truly phenomenal tracks.
Despite the fact Ancora show similarities to bands such as Sleep Token and Throw The Fight at times, it is almost impossible to precisely pigeon hole their style. Releasing their first EP in 2015, the band quickly began to build momentum and followed this debut success with another formidable EP two years later.
To date, Ancora have three EP’s but are yet to commit to a full length studio album. Plans for another release are seemingly in the works, as they unveiled a brand new single, ‘SÓS’, towards the end of 2020. Other key songs from Ancora include ‘Tempestade’, 'Direção Contrária' and ‘O Amanhã'.
