Artist History Gangrena Gasosa it's the exact proof that any imbecile can make Heavy Metal. Believe, they will say for you that we make a cultural work of popularization of the African culture, that make a rich work in the mixture of rhythms and those whole bullshit of who's journalism university student. But it's everything lie!!! We wanted to have one metal band in that time that the californian Thrash Metal made a fuckin' success (Anthrax, Testament, Metallica, Exodus, Suicidal Tendencies), but we were all niggers and god damn muthafuckin' ugly, in addition we didn't know how to play right. To throw farofa and cachaça in the crew and to mix some very shameless macumba sounds in it was half a way of calling attention without anybody to pay attention in as the music were bad and badly played. Then getting dressed like macumba entities was a evolutionary step (?). Therefore if one day you switch the television and see a documentary on the Gangrena Gasosa and Voodoo Metal, know that's everything a caô, that we aren't followers of macumba nor anything and we are just shamming and fellin' good with that: Voodoo Metal is your ass in my dick!!!
