Biography

Possuído Pelo Cão, often abbreviated as PxPxCx, was a Brazilian musical project originating from Brasília, in the Federal District. Formed in 2004, the band stood out in the underground scene for its energetic and irreverent sound, mixing elements of thrash metal and hardcore, with clear influences from 1980s crossover bands.

The sound of Possuído Pelo Cão is marked by speed and aggressiveness, with lyrics that frequently address themes such as social, religious, and political critique, but always with a touch of humor and sarcasm. The project featured musicians from other renowned bands in the Brazilian thrash scene, such as Violator, D.F.C., and Terror Revolucionário, which contributed to its sonic identity and recognition in the milieu.

Throughout its trajectory, PxPxCx released relevant material for the genre, including the demo "Semen Churches" (2006) and the album "Possessed In The Circle Pit" (2008). The band also participated in splits and compilations, consolidating its presence in the national thrashcore. Despite having ended its main activities in 2013, the project occasionally reunited for one-off shows, such as in 2019 and 2024, demonstrating the longevity of its impact on the scene.
