Pesadez from Costarica has been playing raw d-beat since 2019. But on their first album, they pivot into a more "blackened" direction. The songs are still relentless d-beat destruction, complete with the ramshackle looseness and tireless brutality that perfectly fits in this sort of d-beat, but with the shrill noise guitar, divebombing chaos guitar solos, and venomous effected vocals, there's a distinct black metal edge that sets them apart from their more obvious peers. Sarcofago and Shitlickers in equal measure? You bet.
