so it's finally arrived and I for one will be following with both interest and also with a critical ear.
Btw Brazil has hosted some of the best and most interesting metal bands over the last couple of decades. It always surprises people I guess that a samba loving country like Brazil could've embraced such a genre like metal, but then again the social and economic inequalities inside the country, do actually make it a breeding ground for genuine metal. Just think Sepultura which means tombstone/vault in English and you have one of the angriest and best bands in the history of metal, then there is the other end of the spectrum with a band like Angra who are power metal romantics and a delight on the ear. There are more of course like Violator who you've covered above.
