The Damnnation has just taken a major leap in its career. Recognized as one of the standout breakthroughs in Brazilian Thrash Metal, the band officially signed a contract with the legendary Combat Records, kicking off a new phase in their journey and broadening their prospects in the international market.
The deal marks a significant milestone for the project founded in 2019 by vocalist and guitarist Renata Petrelli. Based in São Paulo, the power trio—completed by Fernanda Lessa (bass and backing vocals) and Camila Almeida (drums and backing vocals)—has forged a solid and striking identity, blending the fury of Old School Metal with the heavy, mid-tempo groove of modern Thrash into a sound characterized by aggressiveness, groove, and personality.
The path leading to this international record deal was built with steady consistency. In 2020, their debut EP Parasite put the band in the spotlight by ranking among the best releases of the year in a vote hosted by the prestigious American outlet Metal Injection. Their upward trajectory continued with the album Way of Perdition, which received high acclaim from the global specialized press in publications such as Decibel Magazine, Rock Hard, Zero Tolerance, and Metal Hammer. This success consolidated the group’s reputation and paved the way for sharing stages with Metal icons such as Nervosa, Incantation, Exciter, Crypta, and Torture Squad.
Now, by joining the historic roster of Combat Records, The Damnnation gains the support of a global infrastructure. The announcement propels the band to a new level, bringing the energy and heavy sound of original Brazilian Metal to international audiences backed by one of the genre’s most iconic labels in the world.
