Bode Preto (Portuguese for "Black Goat") is a black metal band from Teresina, Piauí, Brazil, formed in 2010. The band debuted with the "Dark Night" EP in 2010, followed by their full-length album "Inverted Blood" in 2012, which was recorded at Atlantis Studio and featured guest guitar work from ex-Sarcófago member Fábio Jhasko on three tracks. Their sound blends the rawness of black metal with elements of death metal and grindcore.
