What can I say, I am an absolute sucker for really good shoegaze metal music, and blackgaze will always have a place in my heart. However, this is only true when the album is well made, well-executed, and doesn?t sound boring and for the most part, this small Brazilian band nails it out of the park. From the opening guitar lick on ?O ar nos meus pulmões? to the very Midwest emo post-rock guitar passages on ?Seu corpo é gelado, mas você ainda está viva?. There is a lot of intermixing of sounds and for the most part, they all come out really well. My biggest negative is that the sound can be rather one-dimensional right near the end of the record and with that idea, the last track ?Anime de mecha? could have used some sprucing up because it sort of ends into nothing, and I wish they went out with a bang. But overall a hell of great emo and shoegaze record with various roots in other hardcore and metal genres.
