DISTRAUGHT Unleashes Ferocious New Video “Extermination Of Mother Nature”

Over 35 Years of Brazilian Thrash Turned into a Weapon of Outrage

Brazilian thrash metal warhorses DISTRAUGHT are back swinging harder than ever, channeling over three decades of rage, grit and social consciousness into their brand-new music video, “Extermination Of Mother Nature”.

Lifted from the band’s latest EP inVolution, the track is a furious and unrelenting blast that rips through the political negligence and corporate greed responsible for the catastrophic floods that devastated Rio Grande do Sul in 2024 — a disaster that swallowed entire cities, displaced thousands and claimed countless lives.

“This isn’t just a song about a flood. It’s a direct indictment”, says frontman and founding member André Meyer. “Water is supposed to represent life — here it became a weapon of destruction, washing away homes, dreams and broken promises.”

Shot at the historic Lower Platform of the Charqueadas Pier (RS) — once a hub for coal transport in the 1950s and now a haunting monument to neglect — the video amplifies the band’s message with striking, desolate imagery.

inVolution is a conceptual EP with five brutal cuts, each representing a natural element — Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Aether — as the band tears through themes of environmental collapse, greed, denialism and moral decay.

With a legacy forged over 35 years, six full-length albums, two live releases and a trail of hard-hitting singles and covers, DISTRAUGHT stands tall as one of the enduring pillars of Brazilian heavy music. Uncompromising, politically charged and heavier than ever, the band channels decades of rage and reflection into their latest opus, inVolution — more than just a new release, it’s a searing call to awareness through art and aggression. Fronted by André Meyer (vocals) and completed by Ricardo Silveira and Everton Acosta (guitars), Alan Holz (bass) and Thiago Caurio (drums), the band continues to redefine the boundaries of South American thrash.

“Metal isn’t just about attitude — it’s also about awareness”, says founding vocalist André Meyer. “’inVolution’ is a warning about the abyss of human deconstruction we’re headed toward. And it might be closer than we think if nothing changes.”

The band is currently considering a physical release for inVolution and invites labels worldwide to join forces in spreading their latest statement of intent.
