Band: Declive
From: Curitiba, Brazil
Their formation story:
(Renato Rossi, guitar): "We're all long-time friends, with some of us having played together in the past. After the pandemic, we all felt the urge to make music again but only really started working on music together after I decided to move back to Brazil at the start of 2023.
"Our first EP is a combination of ideas that I had written during my time abroad with new material that we worked on collaboratively after my move."
Their sound in their own words:
"We are calling our sound 'heavy hardcore,' although some people might label it as metallic hardcore due to the strong influence of metal bands like Gojira, etc. However, we remain deeply rooted in the language and influences of hardcore, drawing inspiration from newer bands like Knocked Loose, END, Harm's Way, Kublai Khan TX, Jesus Piece, and Code Orange."
Latest release info:
"Our debut EP, O Conforto Te Quer Morto, is a visceral work that captures the deep dissatisfaction of mundane life. The tracks are heavy and cold, reflecting the daily struggles and emptiness of living in an indifferent world. Every beat, scream, and riff translates the weight of everyday existence and the constant fight against apathy, an effort that is just the beginning of an intense and relentless journey to ourselves."
Future plans:
"Now that we've just released our EP, we want to perform and show those songs to as many people as possible. As thirsty creative people, our drive to create has also sparked a will to work on new songs for the next EP, we are trying to keep moving fast and have a solid body of work to use as a foundation to reach different places.
"Basically, we're focusing on perfecting our live performance, continuing to promote our songs online, and in writing new tracks so we can begin recording our next release at the start of 2025."
What other bands from their region should we check out?
"Some bands releasing work this year that are definitely worth checking out include: Bayside Kings, Arize, Fim Da Aurora, Institution, lōtico, Murderess, Fraca, Illlit, Joker, Obsoletion, and Harken.
"Other national bands that are also worth a listen: Paura, Stomp, Outra Providência, Clava, Litrão, O2, Your Fall, Clan dos Mortos Cicatriz, Pantanum, Exylle, N.o.i.a.d.o, Pangare, Heartlistner, Darma, Khaosand, and Othersame."
