STRESS “Atomic Flower, Brazilian Metal Explosion” /CD/

First re-release of the debut full-length studio album by cult Brazilian Speed/Heavy Metal band.
The first Brazilian Metal album ever!
Formed in 1974 by the encounter of the future members of the band in a school, they were the first Brazilian Metal band in the world, and also the first to release an album. Their career began by playing songs by artists such as Rolling Stones, Nazareth, Sweet, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and other similar bands. The first concert of the band, omitting various live performances for the anniversaries of the school, occurred in 1977. In 1978 the band began to work on their first piece, under the influence of Metal monsters such as Judas Priest, Saxon and Iron Maiden, sung both in English and in Portuguese, but due to the desire of the fans who wanted to understand the lyrics, all lyrics were rewritten in Portuguese.
The first album was released in 1982, called simply "Stress". The album mostly consisted of a quite heavy brand of Speed Metal, occasionally bordering on Thrash Metal, in some parts accompanied by Heavy Metal and Hard Rock influences. The release of the album followed with a major success for the band, for example the song "O Oráculo do Judas" was one of the most successful songs on radio stations in Rio de Janeiro, making the band gather many fans and putting it under the attention of Brazilian media.
