Biography

Damn Youth is a Brazilian thrash metal and crossover band formed in Caucaia, Ceará, in 2013. The band emerged from members of previous groups like Agressive, Berserk, Catholic Youth, and Skate Pirata, bringing together a collective of musicians with experience in the local underground scene.

Their music is characterized by fast tempos, aggressive riffs, and a rebellious, youthful spirit, drawing heavy influence from seminal bands such as DRI, Suicidal Tendencies, and in Brazil, Violator. Damn Youth's sound perfectly encapsulates the raw energy and socio-political commentary often found in crossover thrash, making them a notable act in the contemporary Brazilian heavy music landscape.

Over the years, Damn Youth has released several EPs and splits, culminating in their debut full-length album, "Breathing Insanity," in 2018, followed by "Descends Into Disorder" in 2023. These releases have been praised for their authentic adherence to the thrash and crossover traditions while incorporating modern production, solidifying their reputation as a revitalizing force in the Brazilian crossover scene.
