Warkrust was formed in the winter of 2013 in the
city of Porto Alegre, in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, deep in the south of
Brazil. The four members had been involved in many other band in the past,
like: Distrato, Chaka, Gritos de Alerta, Barulho Ensurdecedor and other acts of
the local punk/hardcore scene. Influenced by mainly Swedish and British
hardcore punk and crust, such as Anti-Cimex, Driller Killer, Wolfpack, Doom,
Varukers, Disfear and Discharge the band began rehearsing and writing songs.
Later the same year, after a few gigs in the local
area, they recorded the self-titled, 8-track EP, which was self-released the
following year. In 2015 Warkrust played gigs around the state and the Porto
Alegre area, while rehearsing and writing the songs that would appear on
Helvete, their first full length album, released in 2016. That album was
released on tape by Russian label Black Hose Distro and again self-released by
the band on CD format. Broadening their musical influences, Warkrust
incorporated elements of bands like Extinction Of Mankind, World Burns to
Death, Slang, Napalm Raid, Ratos de Porao, Hellkruser, Agnosy, Warcollapse,
Celtic Frost, Venom, Amebix, Avskum, Sacrilege, Motorhead, Voivod and many
others. Helvete had a strong impact at the local scene and is still being
discovered by people around the world.
The band spent the following years - up until the
present day - working their album the most different ways: playing shows,
selling mercy over the internet, making videos, appearing on compilations, etc.
In october of 2018 Warkrust played their first shows outside the state of Rio
Grande do Sul, going to Sao Paulo for a series of 4 shows in three different
cities and sharing the stage with friends like Nuclear Frost, Manger Cadavre?,
Vasen Kasi and Condiçao Desumana. Early in the year they took part on a 3-wat
split with Chikara (Bosnia) and the mighty Crude SS from Sweden; that release
is out on CD by GrindState Records and NO NAME Records.
Currently Warkrust is working on 4 new songs that
would be on two split records in 2019. The band wish to thank everyone that has
been supporting their music so far. Every band mentioned here can be found on
Bandcamp, YouTube or Facebook.
