Matanza Ritual

The fusion of powerful doses of hardcore, metal, and country brings Matanza Ritual to life, formed in 2019 by vocalist Jimmy London. In this new endeavor following the dissolution of Matanza, the singer and songwriter assembled a true all-star team of Brazilian rock: Felipe Andreoli (bass, also from Angra), Antônio Araújo (guitar, ex-Korzus), and Amílcar Christófaro (drums, Torture Squad). The band’s name is about exorcising one’s own demons—letting go of bad things in order to have fun. “Ritual was born because the need to purge our demons never dies. Every show is an exorcism of the things we go through in our daily lives, and we use art to throw away everything bad, leaving sweaty, happy, and exhausted,” Jimmy explains.
