UGANGA reveals title of new studio album and launches documentary about its first european tour

The brazilian thrashcore band is leaded by Sarcofago's former drummer, Manu Joker

Manu Joker, UGANGA's vocalist, was the guest on the brazilian TV Show "Combo Fala + Joga". During the interview for the hostess Bianca Jhordão, he revealed the title of the band's new album.

Opressor will the title of the fourth full lenght album by the brazilian band that have been conquering more and more fans worldwide.

The album is already being recorded at Rock Lab Studios in Goiania/Brazil with the producer by Gustavo Vazquez (Black Drawning Chalks, Macaco Bong, Krow, Attero) and will bring 10 brand new tracks besides a new recoding for a brazilian heavy metal classic to be revealed soon.

About the album title, Manu Joker reveals that, just like on previous UGANGA albuns, the idea appeared even before any song was written.

"The title is a general observation of the contemporary world", explains the vocalist with an urgent tone. "We are not dealing just about politics, wars or anything else. The approach is broad. In my point of view, the human being is degradated, becoming more futile each day. Me, you, we're all together in the same boat. The millions forms of opression, drugs, vices, ego, corruption, violence, hungry, the false truths that doesn't stop falling, all this shit inspired me. Some lyrics are about my vision and in some others I try to see with different eyes, always being carefull to not point any way out for anybody. I like to search for something positive in everything I write, even dealing with darker subjects, and for sure this album will bring heavy themes. I'm not an example of no fucking shit, just one more guy groping in the dark."

Opressor still doesn't have an official release date, but the album may hit the stores in the second half of 2013.

Among other news, UGANGA just launched on Youtute the documentary about the european tour of 2010.
