Males Fecundos was a Brasília grindcore outfit with members drawn from other local extreme metal projects, channeling social fury and disgust with human mediocrity through blunt, fast-as-possible attacks in the tradition of Napalm Death and Agathocles. Their short run produced a debut EP before the band dissolved.
A death/grind outfit born out of a desire to fuse the visceral chaos of grindcore with the heaviness of old-school death metal, Malicious Intent released their debut album "Under the Shine of the Ripping Sickle" in 2018, a misanthropic slab recorded in Brasília and mixed in São Paulo. The record channels the ruthless energy of early genre progenitors through 13 tracks of punishing, socially contemptuous extreme metal.
