Brazil has a rich heritage in extreme metal and bands like Sarcofago, Mutilator, Holocausto and, of course, Sepultura cast a long shadow. Stepping up to claim the throne are thrash band Speedkiller who are about to unleash their debut album Midnight Vampire which is sure to add their name to Brazil’s metal roll of honour. […]
Few bands bring the rage the way Speedkiller do. They nicely reflect the magic of the Brazilian underground. The twisted power of their new album Midnight Vampire does justice to both them and their label, Edged Circle. What’s exciting, and fascinating, about these guys is how their wonderfully primitive take on death metal can remain […]
Midnight Vampire is the debut EP from Brazilian act Speedkiller; a volatile quartet who live up to its moniker by belching out a furious flurry of wicked, tumultuous tunes straight from the depths of Hades. Anyone who is a fan of raw, primitive black thrash that skirts between very early Sepultura and in general that […]
Gotta love the band name. Speedkiller are quite aptly named as Midnight Vampire is killer speedy heavy/thrash metal with demonic vocals—not quite decipherable—that add kind of an evil vibe to the ensemble. This is a modern take on a very old school sound, think of the mid to late-80s Brazilian death/thrash that took the world […]

A full-length album, Midnight Vampire is the Speedkiller first public recording…but HOLY FUCK is it a first statement! Unapologetically, Speedkiller hail […]

It is with great excitement we can finally announce we have signed a deal with SPEEDKILLER from Brazil. It is rare to find such an unbridled and rebellious invoked force as Speedkiller today, completely cut off from outside influence. If Sarcofago, early Sepultura and Sextrash combined with MX, is something you get a fix from….welcome home. “MIDNIGHT […]
