FORÇA MACABRA celebrates their 25th anniversary

FORÇA MACABRA was formed in 1991 in Punkaharju and currently moved to Helsinki area, Finland. This is an unique band since all band members are Finnish with no obvious connection to Brazil or Portugal, but they adopted a band name and write all lyrics in Portuguese. They explain this fact with the the founding members passion for the Brazilian hardcore/punk/trash scene. Their starting influences were bands like Ruidos Absurdos, Armagedom, Psykoze, Inocentes, Ratos de Porão, Fogo Cruzado, Olho Seco, Lobotomia and Overdose

The band is nowadays very well established in the “Brazilian alike punk/trash metal” scene, not only in Finland but all around the world. And as expected they developed tight connections to Brazilian bands and metal scene.
