Muito bom! O nome da banda tem a ver com o tema do álbum Passion de Anaal Nathrakh? O que significa?
Continua que está muito muito bom!

The perfect antidote for the snooze-inducing glut of psychedelic sludge crap slung toward my inbox, apparently, is blast-beating, furious Black Metal, with a little bit of classic Thrash. I felt close to tearing my gray hair out until I came across this three-song piece of coal from Lisbon, Portugal. Vocals remind me of those that rip straight from the larynx of Wrest, with an Leviathan-esque lacerating screech buried under a layer of cold six-string extremity, blending its tone with that familiar furious BM chord abuse that we know – and delight in – so well. On this one-man Black Metal beast, programmed drums snap relentlessly across the thick guitarscape, but for this type of music, such percussion only adds to the raw hatred conveyed across the whole of Morte e Caos’s three tracks. But back to the Thrash. While most of what’s heard is of the corpse-painted variety, each song has a moment of mid-tempo Speed Metal attack with alternate-picking, complementing double-bass drumwork and engendering a nod or two amidst the maelstrom. Daniel Coelho also employs melody lines that add to the journey, but cleverly inters these as well; your ear will have to focus to find them, and that little extra bit of effort positively affects the overall experience of the album. If nothing else, the pure abandon of Morte e Caos has emptied the trend-wax from my ears this week, and for that reason alone, Tod Huetet Uebel deserves a horns-up hail. -Jim
Tod Huetet Uebel. An unusual name for an unusual band. Portuguese musician Daniel C. created the band alone in 2012, quickly producing and releasing the 3-track EP "Morte e Caos", Death and Chaos, in March 2013.
There is something sinister and oddly ancient about the sounds of Tod Huetet Uebel. The Portuguese project emanates a substantial know-how of black metal history and as such bears a resemblance to some well-known and highly influential acts from the genre while also taking in abundant influences from more modern acts where the tremolo riffs, treble sound, abysmal drumming and foggy raw vocals are just a byproduct of an experimental blackened death metal recipe. Naysayers will say that Morte e Caos is merely a product of circumstance, following in the wake of the success of bands like Teitanblood, Antediluvian or Mitochondrion. True, Tod Huetet Uebel may well be inspired by these acts, but the project features considerably less elements of decay and cessation, relying more on the misanthropic and emotionally depressing moods of black metal rather than the primal brutality of death metal.
The fact that the Portuguese band is a solo-project doesn't shine through. Daniel C. brandishes an impressive talent for production and songwriting. The force with which the riffs are delivered makes Morte e Caos a passionate attempt at an old genre in a modern way while definitely still paying homage to some of the originators of the second wave of black metal. But the supposed downfall of Tod Huetet Uebel is a lack of variation and taste. The drums seem to mostly be blast beats thrown in for good measure, but in the long run this is something that becomes rather tiresome to listen to. It's a minor thing, really, and it does accentuate the weirdly melodic solo in the middle of the first track, Caos. It suggests that there's an idea behind every action and composition on the EP, and it really does exude an aura of violent and malevolent purpose.
Morte e Caos is an intense soundscape of, dare I say, lovecraftian disposition. Tod Huetet Uebel succeeds in portraying cyclopean arrangements in a classic yet contemporary way, and in this way takes a well known modus operandi and gives it new form. Contemporaneousness is a keyword in the discussion of Tod Huetet Uebel. To put it simply, it's an extant piece of new music with an old sound. While there are many time-tested aspects of the concoction that is Morte e Caos it is not something that would be seen or heard in, say, the 90's. The band aspires to be something great and achieves some form of that magnitude by the sheer force of this EP. 7/10 guitars.
