Born in Brazil in 2002, Anti-Corpos, the queer-punk-noise band, has fought for gender equality in heavy music since the beginning. Over the past 20 years Anti-Corpos has played over 300 shows, countless tours and have released some demos and two 7”s (both on Emancypunx Records). The band, now based in Berlin consists of; Adriessa Souza -vocals/bass (Eat My Fear, Dominatrix), Helena Krausz -drums- (Eat My Fear, Gegenüber), and Irem Kara -vocals/guitar- (Nervöus, Hoarse). With this formation the band brings even more ethnic diversity on western stages and spreads awareness for underrepresented minority groups throughout the European music scene. “Backlash” is their first full length album after all these years. Recorded with Jan Oberg of Hidden Planet Studios, it’s heavier, with a bigger, groovier and noisier soundscape but still with the same lyrical centre: Political, feminist, and the struggles and importance of being an immigrant band in the German/European scene. Anti-corpos’ lyrics focus on themes of feminism, anti-homophobia, anti-racism, and self-care. With fast and heavy riffs, the band shifts between dark grooves and chaotic noise, the trio delivers a visceral live performance.
