More Info:

Reissue 2024, poster, booklet, Remastered by Patrick W. Engel at TEMPLE OF DISHARMONY in June 2024. After "Anthropophagy" (1987) and "Who Are the True" (1988), Vulcano entered the 1990s heeding the signs of the times without compromising their initial brutality. As a result, the band's fifth album "Ratrace" perfectly balances thrashing madness with a more contemporary, midtempo approach. "I was really incredulous about how he managed to save that album, " band leader Zhema comments on Patrick W. Engel's restored and remastered version on the original tapes. "The vocals, guitars and bass - everything is finally more defined!" And after frequent bad luck with both recording studios and labels, the Brazilian extreme metal forerunners found a capable partner in High Roller Records to reissue "Ratrace". The album, which saw a glorious return of guitarist Soto Jr. (+ 2001) from the line-up of the group's seminal debut "Bloody Vengeance" (1986), would be their last release for 14 years but an impressive temporary farewell no less. With tracks like the two-minute barrage 'Welcome to the Army' or the similarly frantic 'White Violence' set against more chunky stuff such as 'Just a Matter of Time', "Ratrace" is a forgotten thrash gem to be (re-)discovered!
