The Damnation Unleashes Their Latest Track: “Burning Rain”
Performance Video Overview
Brazilian death thrash trio The Damnation has made waves with their new video for the electrifying track, “Burning Rain.” Contrary to what the title suggests, the visuals present a dry and sunny ambiance, featuring the band—Renata Petrelli (guitar/vocals), Fernanda Lessa (bass), and Camila Almeida (drums)—performing amidst a backdrop of vintage muscle cars in an abandoned factory setting. The absence of rain raises questions about its significance in Brazil, while scenes showcasing the band indulging in copious amounts of liquor hint at the “burning” aspect of the song.
Musical Style and Influences
The track itself is a fiery anthem, embodying a femme-forward take on the groove-heavy thrash that made fellow Brazilian band Sepultura renowned. “Burning Rain” delivers a blend of anger, rhythm, and authentic lyrics that resonates deeply with fans of the genre. The video, directed by Pedro Campos and edited by Marcelo Varge, captures the essence of the band’s explosive energy.
Upcoming Album: Eyes of Despair
The video for “Burning Rain” serves as a precursor to The Damnation’s highly anticipated album, Eyes of Despair, set to release on September 19 via Shinigami Records. Produced by Nicolas Gomes and Renata Petrelli, with mixing by Gomes at Heavytrack and mastering by Zeca Leme at Big Studio 5186, the album promises to encapsulate the raw power and emotion that The Damnation is known for.
Band’s Statement on the Album
In their own words, the band expresses their excitement: “We’re very proud to finally release Eyes of Despair.
