Brazilian Death Thrash Metal Band Breaking Ground in Extreme Metal
The Brazilian death thrash metal band DIATRIBES is rapidly becoming one of South America’s most powerful new forces in the underground extreme metal scene. Formed in 2023 by guitarist Gladyson Rivero, DIATRIBES fuses thrash metal’s aggressive riffing with death metal’s technical brutality. Their sound delivers a relentless assault on the senses, combining raw energy with sharp musicianship.
Formation and Lineup of DIATRIBES
DIATRIBES was created with the vision of building an intense sonic experience that channels the energy of Brazil’s thriving metal underground. Gladyson Rivero quickly assembled a lineup of seasoned extreme metal musicians:
-
Niko Teixeira (drums): Renowned producer and metal session musician with experience in both Brazilian and international scenes.
-
Pedro Teixeira (bass): Freelance bassist known for his deep grooves and rhythmic precision.
-
Marcelo Souza (guitar): Guitarist delivering intricate riffs and blistering solos.
-
Danilo Luna (vocals): Frontman who joined in 2025, known for his ferocious vocal style and commanding stage presence.
Initially, vocalist Martin Fabichak helped shape the band’s early sound, but the band later replaced him with Danilo Luna to capture a more intense and experienced vocal performance.
Debut Single: “Hostility Within”
In 2024, DIATRIBES released their first single, “Hostility Within”, a brutal fusion of death and thrash metal. The track explores themes such as societal collapse, mental anguish, and existential challenges — all of which define the band’s lyrical identity. The single received acclaim from fans and critics alike. Therefore, DIATRIBES quickly established themselves as a fresh voice in Brazilian extreme metal.
Upcoming Debut Album in Late 2025
Currently, DIATRIBES is recording their debut full-length album, which is slated for release in late 2025. The album promises to push the boundaries of death thrash metal with crushing riffs, relentless drumming, and fierce vocals. Fans of technical thrash and brutal death metal will find much to appreciate in this highly anticipated release.
Signed to Brutal Records
In 2025, DIATRIBES signed with Brutal Records, a prominent American label specializing in extreme metal worldwide. This partnership will ensure global distribution and promotion for DIATRIBES’ upcoming album. As a result, the band’s reach will expand beyond Brazil’s borders and into the international metal community.
