Biography
Like their fellow countryfolk in the band Rakta, Brazil's Cadaver Em Transe play a darker style of punk that blurs the lines between postpunk, deathrock, and plain old school punk. Also like Rakta, the band understandably doesn't want to be pigeonholed as a deathrock or goth-punk band only. But listening to a track like "Running Like Ghosts," it's hard not to think of the classic days of spooky punk's roots in the gloomy LA deathrock scene. The closest sonic similarity that comes to mind is France's Ausweis, a still underappreciated band that blended the influence of Killing Joke, UK goth, and even California punk into a compelling whole.
