Panzer

Panzer was a latecomer to the Brazilian thrash metal scene, releasing two albums in 1999 and 2001 before initially disbanding, with their sophomore album The Strongest displaying elements of both traditional 80's thrash and a more modern, hardcore-tinged post-thrash sound. Vocalist Elcio Cruz showed a fair bit of versatility in his singing, ranging from a hardcore shout to an occasional low roar similar to Testament's Chuck Billy to an occasional clean style as well. The overall style of Panzer isn't too far removed from fellow Brazilians Overdose, both using thrash as a base without sounding generic. A decade after breaking up, two of the guys put the band back together in 2012, and a new EP and LP have been released since.
