DIATRIBES: Brazilian Death Thrash Band Signs with Brutal Records for Explosive 2025 Album
The underground metal scene in Brazil continues to rise with the emergence of DIATRIBES, one of the most intense and promising extreme metal bands to come out of South America in recent years. Formed in 2023 by guitarist and founding force Gladyson Rivero, DIATRIBES blends the raw power of thrash metal with the precision and brutality of modern death metal, delivering a sound that’s as aggressive as it is authentic.
A New Chapter in Brazilian Metal
DIATRIBES was created with the goal of transforming heavy riffs and dark lyrical themes into something greater—a full-scale sonic assault grounded in years of underground experience. Gladyson Rivero quickly brought together some of Brazil’s most respected musicians in the extreme music scene:
-
Niko Teixeira (drums), acclaimed for his work as a producer and musician with both Brazilian and international metal acts
-
Pedro Teixeira (freelance bassist), adding depth and groove to the band’s crushing rhythm section
-
Marcelo Souza (guitar), delivering razor-sharp riffs and solos
-
And in 2025, Danilo Luna joined as the band’s frontman, bringing a commanding vocal style filled with fury and precision
Initially, the vocals were handled by Martin Fabichak, but after his departure, the band sought a more intense, road-tested presence—leading to Danilo’s explosive addition. His aggressive vocal tone and stage presence solidified DIATRIBES’ sound and vision moving forward.
Debut Single: “Hostility Within”
In 2024, DIATRIBES unveiled their first official single, “Hostility Within”, introducing listeners to their sonic identity: relentless death thrash, fueled by lyrical themes of societal collapse, psychological turmoil, and existential critique. The track’s brutal production, technical execution, and emotional depth made it clear—DIATRIBES isn’t just another Brazilian metal band, they’re a new voice in modern extreme metal.
The sound delivers an authentic blend of thrash and death metal, combining the aggressive spirit of classic thrash with the modern precision and heaviness of death metal.
Full-Length Album Coming in Late 2025
Currently, DIATRIBES is in the studio recording their highly anticipated debut album, which is expected to drop in late 2025. Fans of brutal death metal, technical thrash, and the Brazilian underground metal movement can expect a devastatingly heavy release—one that’s intense, unfiltered, and fully committed to pushing boundaries.
Signed by Brutal Records
In a major leap forward, DIATRIBES signed with American label Brutal Records in 2025. The U.S.-based record label is known for championing some of the most notorious names in international extreme metal, and their partnership with DIATRIBES marks a pivotal moment in the band’s journey. The upcoming album will be officially released under the Brutal Records banner, ensuring worldwide distribution and visibility in the global metal community.
