Mofo

Formed in 2010 by Rodrigo Shakal Loreto and Lucas Werner, MOFO hails from Brazil’s capital, Brasilia, with its characteristic mixture of Thrash metal with other subgenres such as Death metal and Hardcore.
Born when both axemen were still in high school, MOFO began with Iron Maiden and Metallica coursing through its veins. It wasn’t until 2017’s Empire of Self-Regard, that the band became heavier, faster dirtier and more aggressive. Clocking just over 18 minutes with 5 thrashers, the EP is recognized by some Brazilian media amongst the top 10 EPs from 2017, and awarded MOFO as a promising band for the future.
Comes 2020, Sick and Insane is born. Recorded between august 2019 and February 2020, Sick and Insane is themed around human vices, relationships, idolatry, afterlife and society’s path towards self-destruction. The album evokes Thrash metal’s violence and energy, Death metal’s heaviness and rawness, Hardcore’s groove, technical precision and some hints of Brazilian regional music to create a characteristic sledgehammer of sound to rip your spinal cord off!
In MOFO’s history, they’ve played some regional fests such as Blood Fire Death, Carnarock, Dark Fest, Headbanger’s Attack, Porão do Rock and Samamba Rock. Shared the stage with big names like @D.F.C., @Sepultura, Black Pantera, Witchhammer, @Dark Avenger, @Krisiun, @Torture Squad, Holocausto, Holocausto Canibal (POR), Vulcano, Phrenesy, Terror Revolucionário, Flashover, @Nervochaos, @Reactory (GER) and @Master (EUA).
