Ratos De Porão Sistemados Pelo Crucifa LP is the re-recorded version of the band's first seminal album Crucificados Pelo Sistema (1983) from the legendary São Paulo Brazilian hardcore punk band Ratos De Porão. This Ratos De Porão LP was originally recorded in 1999 - mixed by engineer Billy Anderson (Logical Nonsense, Melvins, Neurosis, who also mixed RDP's Carniceria Tropical) - and originally released in 2001. Absolutely punishing, no frills hardcore thrash from these indestructible Brazilian punk pioneers smashing eardrums since 43+ years. All the band's early anthems revisited at neck-breaking speed plus 1 exclusive bonus track. This new version of Crucificados Pelo Sistema captures the rare chemistry of the current members performing the band's classic songs, benefitting from Billy Anderson's technical wizardry. RDP's Portuguese lyrics focus on day-to-day life in Brazil, spotlighting political and social issues - presenting a positive outlook and speaking of creating a better future while tempering their optimism with a strong hint of dark humor. Sistemados Pelo Crucifa is testimony to RDP's enduring reign as hardcore champions. LP comes with pantone bronze laminated cover and fold-out insert with lyrics, liner notes, and photos. Ratos De Porão formed in São Paulo in 1981 and stand as one of THE most influential bands in the entire Brazilian and Latin American hardcore underground. Essential listening for fans of Brazilian hardcore, Latin American punk, crossover thrash, political punk, and the legendary RDP catalog.
