I have to apologize myself for this delayed review and I hope that the responsible people behind the rather small Brazilian label Wave Records can forgive me. PECADORES is a four-member EBM/Electro/Industrial band out of Brazil presenting with this album their officially full-length debut. They too could release a 4-track SiCD entitled "Macumbaria" and also this album has been released a few months before in Europe under the German label Danse Macabre as a different 14-track edition. For this Brazilian Edition they have added some remix contributions (MORGUE, SIVA SIX, TRUPPENTERROR and STRANGERANGLES) and a totally new track, which is a collaborative effort with the Brazilian underground act A INDUSTRYA. The music of PECADORES is a sort of extraordinary mixture of straight EBM tunes with traditionally Macumba beats and drums, a Brazilian kind of ritualistic Voodoo spirituality. So this Industrial-Macumba, as they call it, is surely a musically experience you haven’t heard before. The four band members, Dark Messenger, Apostle Niwt, Sister Mege and Brother Vlad are raging lyrically mainly against all kinds of discrimination and the Christian/evangelistic greed and bigotry hidden under a religious mantle. They choose drastically lyrics in both English and Portugese languages and visuals to strengthen their hatred messages, which seems to be an endless fight taking influence on their daily life. They have recognized very well that different religions can be the reason for all failures happening world-wide around. Though their attitude, outfit and kind of stage performance deserves fully support, the EBM-related sound outfit isn’t the new invention of a wheel. Their tracks like "Apocalipse", "Macumbaria" or "Padre" are powerful and good food to dance to, but could need some refreshing sound-wise and a bit more experienced programmings. Favorites to be named are "Possessed", which drifts a bit forward to offer better worked-out synth layers plus it has a sort of recognizable melodic content; and also the drastically harsh tune "Kapitalist Gott", maybe that track which transmits their message to the clearest. Not bad at all of course and still with some room for development, let’s watch out for more stuff about this interesting Brazilian act.
