THE BRAZILIAN SIGN OF REBELLION!!! Brazil is not only football, but as we all know a country of great bands that play like nowhere else in the world. One of them is the great AGROTÓXICO, an angry and straightforward hardcore punk that has been giving the world the middle finger since 1993!!! Awesome melodies, punk swing and hardcore fury all wrapped up in the total pissed off life on the Brazilian street.
This is exactly what their latest album "Era de Caos" from 2023 sounds like, but especially their live shows, which are a blast of energy as only bands from Latin America can do!!! We welcome AGROTÓXICO to Obscene Extreme for the second time and we can't wait to shake our fists in the moshpit!!! Chaos on the Battlefield. This is AGROTÓXICO!!!

During this period, Agrotoxico released 8 albums, a documentary DVD and was part in several compilations around the world.
The lyrics of Agrotoxico speak about different social themes, from violence in big cities, wars, ecology, politics, etc, always within the libertarian and anti-fascist left scene.
