With 63 minutes this is another Brazilian compilation CD containing thirteen songs collected by the editor of Metal Mission magazine, Flávio de Souza and his wife Rosemari. This time they clearly decided to bring the collection to a higher level of quality. The previous effort had quite a few poorly recorded songs. The Brazilian Collection 2 is much better. Especially the melodic metal bands are a pleasure to listen to. A band like Destra proves Brazilian bands are able to deliver fine quality recordings. The bassplayer from Destra is quite good as well. Four of the songs on this CD are sung in Portuguese, the rest of the lyrics are English. And, of course, there are various musical directions varying from melodic metal to black metal. As it comes to extreme metal no band sticks out though Zurisadai has a singer who definitely knows how to shriek with a most wicked sound and thus is worth mentioning. Conclusion: this collection is a nice introduction to Brazilian bands and various of them are definitely interesting.
