BIO:

Claustrofobia started its activities in 1996, in Leme a city in the vicinity of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Since then, the band has successfully conquered its grounds on the scene, becoming the most important Thrash/Hard Core/Death Metal band of the Brazilian underground. They have avid and loyal fans across the country.
Claustrofobia is one of the rare underground bands breaking through to important TV programs showcasing heavy music, an unusual fact for musicians from the Brazilian underground.
The band had been playing with unmistakable attitude and energy at many concerts all over Brazil, sharing the stage with consecrated bands on the international scene, such as Soulfly, Destruction, Napalm Death, Krisiun, Hate Eternal, Ratos de Poro, Paul Di Anno and Sepultura this one at the glorious Sepulfest. The band is young yet experienced, celebrating its 10th anniversary this year with the original line-up.

FULMINANT (2005):

Claustrofobia just recorded its newest and most violent album entitled Fulminant with the participation of Andreas Kisser (Sepultura) in Eu Quero Que Se Foda and Alex Camargo (Krisiun) in Fact.
It was recorded at Da Tribo Studio (Sao Paulo Brazil), with 100% analogue systems, bringing out the raw, heavy and powerful sound of Claustrofobia. The band had the opportunity to work with Ciero again, who recorded Krisiuns Bloodshed.
Fulminant brings forward the creative side of the band and gathers the most brutal elements of Thrash/Hard Core/Death Metal sprinkled with Brazilian groove/swing. The result is a strong album with personality delivering a musical brawling of the best styles in a psychopath Heavy Metal mood.
Fulminant is, for a certain period, exclusively distributed in Brazil. Claustrofobia is available for discussions concerning tours, as well as licensing and releasing the album with foreign labels.
