“Brazilian band Gattopardo´s debut album feature a sound that looks sweet, tense and haggard at equal parts, echoing the soul of Rikk Agnew during his tenure at Christian Death or Musta Paraati. This yields a motley assortment of damaged songs without sharp edges that would collapse when rub against the urban landscape of Sao Paulo, Brazil.

No-bullshit post-punk is their thing, as if The Cure of the Seventeen seconds album were stabbed to death by Part 1, A Touch of Histeria and other millitants that opted for the most nihilist option of anarchopunk. Even the use of portuguese does not undermine its urban character.

Understandibly, there is nothing the Amazon rainforest could do to counter the concrete jungle.” Elvis Von Doom
