Atrocity was a thrash metal band from São Paulo, active from 2004 until they split up, operating in the crowded but fertile São Paulo underground thrash scene. The band released material independently, continuing in the tradition of aggressive Brazilian thrash in the style of the São Paulo scene's old-school roots.
