The Troops of Doom
formed in 2020, during the pandemic, by the original SEPULTURA guitarist Jairo “Tormentor” Guedz. He recorded the albums “Bestial Devastation” (1985) and “Morbid Visions” (1986). Jairo left the band in 1987, making way for Andreas Kisser, who continues with the band to this day. THE TROOPS OF DOOM’s lineup also includes other significant figures from the Brazilian metal scene, such as guitarist Marcelo Vasco (Patria, Mysteriis), a globally renowned graphic artist known for his work with bands like Slayer, Dee Snider, Kreator, Machine Head, Soulfly, and many others. The vocalist and bassist Alex Kafer, former live guitarist for Matanza, and drummer Alexandre Oliveira, a former member of the band Tianastácia, complete the lineup.

Currently, the band is about to release their highly anticipated second album, “A Mass To The Grotesque,” produced by André Moraes, a multi-talented musician known for his work on Sepultura’s “Dante XXI” and the soundtrack of the film “Lisbela e o Prisioneiro,” at Audio Porto studio in Porto Alegre/RS. The mixing and mastering of the album were done 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. The cover art was painted by the acclaimed artist Dan
Seagrave, responsible for numerous classic Death Metal album covers. The release is scheduled for May 31, again through Alma Mater Records, in CD, Vinyl, Cassette, and Digital formats. In April, THE TROOPS OF DOOM was headliner on Waves stage at the Brazilian edition of the German festival SummerBreeze in São Paulo, featuring acts like Mercyful Fate, Anthrax, Death Angel, Carcass, Amorphis, among others. In August, the band embarks on their first European Tour.
