Brazilian death metal supergroup THE TROOPS OF DOOM releases “Chapels Of The Unholy”, the first video single from their upcoming album “A Mass To The Grotesque”, which will be released this May on Alma Mater Records!
THE TROOPS OF DOOM release their highly anticipated new studio album “A Mass To The Grotesque”! The band’s second album will be released as a limited LP vinyl edition and CD digipack via Alma Mater Records, the Portuguese powerhouse label of MOONSPELL singer Fernando Ribeiro!
THE TROOPS OF DOOM were formed in 2020, during the pandemic, by original SEPULTURA guitarist Jairo “Tormentor” Guedz. He recorded the albums Bestial Devastation (1985) and Morbid Visions (1986). Jairo left the band in 1987 and made way for Andreas Kisser, who is still in the band today. The line-up of THE TROOPS OF DOOM also includes other important figures of the Brazilian metal scene, such as guitarist Marcelo Vasco (Patria, Mysteriis), a world-famous graphic artist known for his work with bands such as Slayer, Dee Snider, Kreator, Machine Head , Soulfly and many others. Vocalist and bassist Alex Kafer, former live guitarist of Matanza, and drummer Alexandre Oliveira, former member of the band Tianastácia, complete the lineup.
Now the band has released their first single exclusively via Metal Injection, the fast-paced banger “Chapels Of The Unholy”! The song is now available from all digital providers, and the devastating video clip is available to stream below!
Ribeiro says:
“Imagine a death metal world unaltered and pure since the 1990’s, a musical style so dear to the fans, that time, business and trend, could never hurt. Go back to the glorious time where Death Metal reigned supreme, thanks to some bands, artists, studios and an untameable will of progressing and delivering extreme music to its finest shape, like occult jewellery, filigree , brutal yet elegant in its overwhelming task of splitting your ears. The new Troops of Doom album A Mass to the Grotesque, which Alma Mater Records is brutally proud to present, rescues this long forgotten Death Metal class. They are the flag carriers of the authentic Morrisound sound (the legendary Florida studio where this album was mixed and mastered) and they leave no stones unturned on this one. Brace yourself for the best and most authentic Death Metal album in ages!”

Hailed by the specialist media as a supergroup, THE TROOPS OF DOOM has set itself the task of reviving the classic death metal of the 80s, inspired by the early era of Sepultura with Jairo and other influential bands such as Slayer, Celtic Frost, Kreator and Possessed . It’s a time machine for anyone who longs for the golden age of death metal. In just two years since their formation, the band has released three EPs: “The Rise of Heresy” (2020), “The Absence of Light” (2021) and “Prelude to Blasphemy” (2023), as well as their debut album “Antichrist Reborn” , which was released on CD, LP and cassette by Alma Mater Records in 2022 and was praised by both fans and the music press.
Now the band is preparing to release their highly anticipated second album, A Mass To The Grotesque, by André Moraes, a versatile musician known for his work on Sepultura’s Dante XXI and the soundtrack of the film Lisbela eo Prisioneiro” was produced in the Audio Porto Studio in Porto Alegre/RS. The album was mixed and mastered by Jim Morris at the legendary Morrisound Recording in Tampa, Florida, known for producing some of the greatest death metal classics of the 80s and 90s.
Jairo Guedz comments:
„The entire production and recording of the album were done in Brazil, while the mixing and mastering were handled by the great Jim Morris at the legendary Morrisound Recording in Florida. It’s a production that completely diverges from today’s standard productions. We are very proud of it.“
