On the next installment of the No Gods No Masters cycle two phenomenal bands from Brazil will play – listeners will drown in psychedelia, ritual and acid samba.

Each of Deafkids' releases have explored a different take on the hypnotic rhythms that comprise D-beat: the full-throttle noise assault of 2012's Six Heretic Anthems for the Deaf EP; the cavernous, off-the-rails hardcore and apocalyptic monoliths that comprised 2014's The Upper Hand LP. As the band moved to live together in São Paulo, composing and creating as a full unit, Deafkids began to blend each member’s musical and aesthetic taste with a common interest in mesmerizing grooves and psychedelic rhythms from around the globe. This turned the band even further on it’s sonic edge. The resulting process was the mind-abusing, lingering repetition of 2015's split with USA's Timekiller, the cathartic energy discharge of the trio’s live performances and the wild, psychedelic absurdity that is Configuração do Lamento. Nowadays Deafkids produce overwhelming, sensory-driven dirges that carry a Brazilian (and Latin American) imprint. Deafkids is the legitimate bastard child of the colonial chaos — trapped here and there — between both complementary and opposing worldviews, trying to balance the intensity and conflicted nature of the human condition. Expanding the band’s D-beat origins, the eight tracks of Configuração do Lamento vacillate between demonic fever dreams, orgies of acidic guitars and percussive taunting.

Straight from the depths of São Paulo, Brazil, Rakta is a band too wild to be caged inside familiar rock labels. In fact, very little is familiar, or comfortable in Rakta’s music and general stance. On the road since 2012, the group, formed only by women, had as an initial inspiration the musical freedom and policy of the 70s/80s anarchist and post-punk scene, especially towards the “antiphilosophies” from the British collective Crass. After this initial impetus, they soon found their own identity, pushing the creative barriers, without interest in playing sounds or pre-defined ideas of one or another subgenre. I.e., a completely punk modus operandi, but without any reverence for rules and standards aesthetic-musical. Psychedelic textures emanate above the solid base lines and drums, created by manipulating a synthesizer and effect pedals. The lyrics are evoked as mantras; the verses and choruses are spilled in a way that each musical piece stops being a song and becomes a process, a translation of an emotion in rhythms and sounds overlapped and organized to the limit of chaos.
