They are Opran možgan (brainwashed). They flew out of a concrete garage in 2019.The line-up kept changing, and so did the sound. In principle, they have been using crust/hardcore punk with occasional grind elements since the beginning. The current members are Klemen Škrjanec - guitar + back vocals, Nik Jeđud - guitar + back vocals, Matic Gorjan - bass guitar, Žiga Križnar - vocals and Grega Križnar - drums. The modern capitalist apocalypse unfolding around us and within us has a special sound of pain, suffering, frustration and chaos. They try to capture these feelings and transform them into something beautiful and tangible but at the same time sincere. Confession of the real situation, not flight into a dream. They don't want to be just a band, but they are friends who together create something bigger than each individual. Some more drug addicted than others, some less present than others. Full of difference, they strive for unity and seek beauty in chaos and destruction. The world is washed, and so is the brain in it.They are Opran Možgan (brainwashed).
ROT was formed in 1990 by Mendigo and Marcelo, before this it was already working in the underground, being involved with other bands and projects or doing fanzines, trading tapes and keeping in touch with people around the world. The band has developed themselves in the underground, however, ROT can hardly be framed within the standards of metal or punk. In 27 years of existence - With a hiatus of 5 years old - a series of important works: 1990-1995, 1996-1998, 1999-2002, 2003-2008, 2013 -... 1990-1995. After the recording of the first 7'E titled "Almighty God", the original drummer and bassist has leaved the band, Marcelo da Silva and Claudinei Vieira - friends who have always been in the rehearsals - are invited to participate, and with this formation they recorded a cd and seven more &’EP splits with bands from around the world. In 1994, were invited to do the first European tour our German band, Morbid Records Label. But due to a lack of experience and internal problems within the band, they couldn’t made it. Alex Bucho (WARHATE and BARFLY) enters the band replacing Marcelo da Silva on the bass, giving more energy and musicality, in a short space of time, recorded the Split LP with the band INTESTINAL DESEASE (Belgium), in which it aroused the interest of the band’s vocalist, also holder of the Grinding Madness Label in a 1996 European Tour Rot, 1996 – Ransgate/Inglaterra 1996 - 1998, after having settled in the style, have played in some smaller cities, the capital of São Paulo and some others states as Paraná and Santa Catarina the band leaves for the old world for a Mini tour, in a moment that only very few Brazilian bands had the chance to know in practice how the local scenes worked, dates that strengthened us and encouraged our return in 1998. Accompanied by another Brazilian band - ABUSO SONORO - and with a new drummer Mané (ex. INFERNO SONORO) were Thirty-two days and thirty gigs on European soil, mostly accompanied by the bands: WOICZECH, ENTRAILS MASSACRE, from German, and the danish DEEPREST. Rot 1998 - Utrecht/ Holanda 1999 – 2002. Without a drummer and no expectations to return active, the end of the year 2000, Ricardo Trassato takes on the drums, with 28 songs ready, We recorded our CD "A long Cold Stare" Recorded at the Ancients Valley's Tower Studio in June and July of 2002. In August / September of the same year, we did the tour of this last LP, considered by many to be the band's best album. Rot – Gent/Bélgica 2003 – 2008. The band undergoes another painful process, the departure of Alex Bucho at the bass, also assuming the second voice. In common agreement, they decided to have an independent vocalist, one also known and friend of many decades Jeferson Pizone (Ex-TAPASYA), and about four different bassists who did not get used to the rhythm of the band. With the departure of the singer and co-founder of the band, Marcelo Batista. The band recorded without his presence the Split 7 "EP with the German friends of WOJCZECH and a Split CD with the friends of Brasilia DEATH SLAM. Marcelo returns to the band, Ricardo leaves the drums and enters Rafael de Oliveira (Ex-DISPESIA). After recording more 7 "EPs, they did some gigs in Brazil, the band decided to give some time for a hiatus, with no set deadline, since the members were connected in other projects. 2013-... Mendigo and Rafael decide to do a rehearsal to rescue and create new songs without commitment, which ended in the return of the band. In addition to the return of Marcelo and Alex, they decided to call a very old friend of the scene, Marcolino Jeremias (formerly DEADMOCRACY) for the second rehearsal. Of course, the rhythm of the band was different, they did not have as much time to compose as it was in the past, with members living in differents points of São Paulo and after almost a decade without recording anything, the band came back to a studio between June and July 2015 and recorded 12 unpublished sounds that make up the ep entitled "Nowhere". This Ep definitely marks the return of the ROT as well as reaffirming the style that the band has been practicing all these years, but after some few live performances of the EP release, the band suffers significant losses in its formation, but does not discourage and returns with enough breath that remains the same to a year and to symbolize the event, they release their most recent work the Virtual Ep "worshiping their own chains" containing three songs of the good old grindcore, available for Free Download.

1. Could you tell a bit more about gate of deliriarecordslabel?
gate of deliriarecordslabel said :
Hello, my name is Jari and I'm the owner of Gate Of Deliria
label & distro in Helsinki, Finland. This is one-man hobby and passion for
analog underground sound. The label is small and focused on sludge-doom &
sludgecore bands mainly from Finland, but the latest release is Negative Slug
from Zagreb, Croatia.And that's the first cassette release of the label. I
started this as an vinyl label, but cassette has also good analog sound, so why
not. This label & distro ain't about money. All the money I invest in this
hobby remains there. I do a lot of wholesale from other DIY labels to grow and
make G.O.D.distro interesting. And at same time I feed my hunger of all the
great underground bands which are around the world. I'm endless riff seeker.
Last two years I've been lot of into grindcore. So I will release some serious
grind, too. This is music from a fan to fans.
2. When did you start with the gate of deliriarecords label and are the bands satisfied
with your services?
gate of deliriarecordslabel said :
The first release came out 24th of July 2014. That's the day
one. I started to plan this label over two years earlier.The start was slow, so
I focused to grow distribution side as well. So far the bands has been
satisfied...
3. What bands can expect from you?
gate of deliriarecordslabel said :
I give them 100 % freedom to express their music and art. I
give money for physical vinyls or tapes (sometimes I ask them to correct tiny
details ;-). Bands get 10 % of vinyls or cassettes to themselves. Then I do my
best to spread their music around the world. I also sell vinyls and tapes at
local gigs here in Helsinki.It's fun to cycle with my distro bike and meet
like-minded people.
4. Could you give some advice to bands about the underground
scene?
gate of deliriarecordslabel said :
Make noise about yourself. Do a
demo/stickers/pins/patches/t-shirts, send e-mails to diy labels, use social
media. And most of all, do gigs as much as you can and do gigs with different
kind of bands. Don't drink too much before gig. Be friendly to other bands.But
I think you already knew this...
5.Could you say something at the end for the blog All for
one and one for all?
gate of deliriarecordslabel said :
I always listen to demos and band links which I received.
But I think this year is fully planned for upcoming releases(there might be
change for one release the next winter). Year 2020 will be important to me in
many ways and then I like to release serious vinyl collection of sludge bands
around the world. So let me hear about you...
Thanks for this interview. Your blog have a great name :-)
1.Could you tell a bit more about
aural onslaught record label?
Aural Onslaught records label said:
Aural Onslaught started out as a distro to
sell punk, grind etc cds,vinyl and tapes but took on a life of it's own and
turned into a label quite quickly.as I had a few enquiries about releasing
Total Bloody Chaos, an English punk band, cd which I did! It sort of took over
from there, although I let it slide for a few years due to health problems, but
now it's back!!
2.When did you start with the aural
onslaught record label and are the bands satisfied with your services?
Aural Onslaught records label said:
I started it about 6 years ago but
it sort of fell by the wayside for a couple of years, I have always seemed to
get good feedback from the bands that I have been involved with, I always try
my best and you can't do much more than that.
3.What bands can expect from you?
Aural Onslaught records label said:
My recent releases have been a cassette split
with Chikara and Lycanthropy, it's out now and has gone really well, there is a
cdr release from Puta Malaria and a crd release Chikara Plague Rages split both
out. Soon a cassette release with HeDied and Corrodent split, should be out
this month. Chikara and Haggus cassette in the near future, also have another
four or five projects in various stages of completion, busy times!!
4. Could you give some advice to
bands about the underground scene?
Aural Onslaught records label said:
The underground scene is the best,

way they can. The gigs are the best, the zines are always great reads and there
is soooo much music out there, all genres that you can never get bored!! It is
