Inferno Nuclear presents "Amazônia em Chamas", its new studio album,

reaffirming its purpose of executing timeless, heavy, fast and aggressive

thrash metal inspired by 80s oldschool bands. The album brings 9 new tracks,

all sung in portuguese, with production, recording and mixing by Thiago

Bezerra.


Formed in Belém, Pará in 2006 by Wellington Freitas (vocals) in the midst of

the thrash metal world revival, Inferno Nuclear is currently rooted in São

Paulo, and includes Leonardo Garcia (guitar), Leandro Kronnos (bass) and

Marcos Luz (drums). The new album boosts the band into a new phase of its

trajectory, marked by musical maturity and a strong critical stance.


Recorded at Madness Music (Jardim da Conquista, SP) from October to

December 2024, the album explores deep and currect subject areas such as

environmental destruction, human condition, racism, religious fanaticism,

violence, war and social injustice. With direct and intense lyrics, "Amazônia

em Chamas" proposes a critical and commited thrash metal, not forgetting the

aggressive essence of the genre.


Musically, the album delivers distorted riffs, complex bass lines, fast drums

and resounding vocals, in a sound that alludes to bands like Vio-Lence,

Exodus, Testament, Metallica and Sepultura, while maintaining Inferno

Nuclear’s own identity.


The cover art was created by Márcio Aranha, visually capturing the urgent and

critical message that permeates the entire album
