Abisur: Furor | The Old Fury Is Brazilian
(2026 – Kongsblod Records)
With a polished blend of thrash metal pushed to the extremes of black metal, the Brazilian band Abisur is set to release a new EP titled “Furor,” a work that pushes the boundaries of extreme metal. Made to blow minds with a true old-school sound.
Abisur is a two-man project. Evandro on vocals, guitars, and bass, and André on drums. They’ve been at it for a while, with three EPs and one album released to date, all independently, as is the case here.
Their sound is rooted in Thrash Metal but driven at the speed of the most visceral Black Metal, somewhat reminiscent of the aggressive sounds of old German Thrash from the ’80s and the early days of Mortification. It’s simple and uncomplicated. Short, direct, combative songs with a structure that will appeal to fans of the old school of extreme metal.
“Furor” contains only 6 tracks, but with an intensity that makes it feel like they fell short. Evandro’s vocals are harsh and rotten, the guitars attack from the get-go with their fast riffs, and the drumming pounds almost constantly, accompanying a true and vulgar display of power.
We find the beginning of all this in the first track, “Rumores De Guerra,” with an intro dark and warlike enough to draw us into what Abisur brings us—that is, their combative blend of Thrash with Black Metal and even certain touches of Hardcore here and there. The relentless rhythm is practically non-stop and gives no respite, and that’s how we suddenly find ourselves with “Engano,” the second track, where Abisur really exploits that vein we were talking about.
“Inveja” is something else entirely, with a much more evident complexity; here, Abisur offers us an atmosphere much closer to Nordic extreme metal and a purely dark aesthetic that spits out riffs and blast beats in every direction. The same versatility that Abisur possesses takes us in “Furor,” the title track of the EP, which on one hand is much closer to punk/hardcore, without ceasing to sound extreme, and with a catchy chorus.
And yes, as we said, Abisur is a well-oiled machine and can even release something with hints of Death Metal like “Deseios Imorais,” perhaps one of the best tracks on this release and where all the influences that Abisur draws upon for its own style intersect the most.
“Memoria” is the final track; with its shifting pace and tempo, it’s something else entirely, and its composition is perhaps distinct from the rest while still staying true to the concept developed in “Furor,” finally bringing this album to a close.
And yes, the problem with “Furor” is that it’s short in duration, but of course, it’s just an EP. Besides, Abisur’s approach is simple and direct. No over-the-top instrumentation or overly long intros. It’s straight to the point, and that’s how it goes throughout, even with the characteristics we can discern across the entire album.
The clear intention is fury turned into song, with lyrics clearly based on biblical passages and rendered in an accessible simplicity, driven by the raw intensity of their music. The lyrics are in Portuguese, unlike many Brazilian bands that prefer English over their native language.
The sound is raw, cutting, and provides a platform for André’s tremendous raspy voice to shine, which takes center stage throughout the entire sound. There isn’t much technical sophistication in the sound; rather, it’s evident that the idea was to make a “garage” style album. What’s interesting is that sound between tracks that resembles the needle skipping across vinyl, which actually suits it very well.
The artwork is deceptive. The cover has that unmistakable Punk or Hardcore aesthetic, but in this case, it has little to do with those genres. Still, we think it’s fantastic and, above all, eye-catching. The inner sleeve is simple. It only features the lyrics, technical details, and just two photographs—of both Evandro and André, the members of Abisur—and not much else.
Abisur takes it a step further with “Furor.” It may not be the most groundbreaking album of their career, but this EP certainly has enough to make you want to dig deeper into their music and sound—which is already too diverse to be neatly pinned down to any single genre. It’s Extreme Metal, fierce and combative, and on top of that, old-school. That’s more than enough reason to check them out and hear what Abisur has to say—and sound like.
The guys from Abisur don’t seem to be very active on social media, but they do have a YouTube channel, which we’ve linked below, so you can discover more of their albums. That said, here’s where you can buy a copy of this album: the Brazilian label Extreme Records, which we highly recommend, both for its reliability and the professionalism with which they operate. You can purchase this Abisur album there.
