Besta

Besta is a Brazilian hardcore punk force known for their raw energy and unflinching social commentary. Hailing from São Paulo's DIY underground, they blend blistering riffs with lyrics that tackle systemic corruption, inequality, and urban decay, as heard in tracks like "Setor Parasita" and "Ofício da Mentira". Their sound – showcased in recent releases like the apocalyptic "Ajoelha-te Perante a Besta" and horror-tinged "John Carpenter" – feels like a protest march set to distorted guitars, channeling both regional struggles and global counterculture spirit. While keeping band member details low-key, their music speaks loud through titles like "Azul, Vermelho e Branco" (a nod to Brazil's flag colors) and "Terra em Desapego", cementing their status as sonic rebels in Latin America's punk landscape.
