The Troops of Doom Premiere Exclusive Album Stream of “A Mass to the Grotesque” - @thebeast

Brazilian death metal supergroup The Troops of Doom are set to unleash their much-anticipated second studio album, A Mass to the Grotesque, this Friday, May 31, 2024, via Alma Mater Records. In celebration of the release, the band has partnered with Decibel Magazine for an exclusive album stream, allowing fans to experience the album in its entirety ahead of its official release.



"The band’s sophomore outing, A Mass to the Grotesque, returns to the organic, old-school sound that defined Death Metal’s golden age," raves Decibel Magazine. Renowned figures in the metal scene have also praised the album. Mille Petrozza of Kreator states, "The record sounds amazing! Old school as f*ck! Taking me back to the glory days of Brazilian metal. This album will crush!" Øystein G. Brun of Borknagar adds, "Wow, this one hits me hard and drags me straight back to the early '90s, to my youth, when death metal still was fresh, wild, and fierce! Listen and learn, kids; this is how music in the name of the horns is done!"

Formed in 2020 during the pandemic by original Sepultura guitarist Jairo “Tormentor” Guedz, The Troops of Doom aims to revive the classic death metal sound of the 80s. The lineup features significant figures from the Brazilian metal scene, including guitarist Marcelo Vasco (Patria, Mysteriis), vocalist and bassist Alex Kafer, and drummer Alexandre Oliveira. The band has quickly made a name for themselves with three EPs and a debut album, Antichrist Reborn (2022), all released via Alma Mater Records.

A Mass to the Grotesque was produced by André Moraes at Audio Porto studio in Porto Alegre/RS and mixed and mastered by Jim Morris at the legendary Morrisound Recording in Tampa, Florida. The album cover art, painted by the acclaimed artist Dan Seagrave, evokes the iconic imagery of death metal's golden era.
