CLAUSTROFOBIA one of the most respected independent forces in Brazilian metal, is among the acts confirmed for Bangers Open Air 2027, marking the band’s highly anticipated return to the Brazilian stage after seven years.
With more than three decades of history, seven studio albums, an appearance at Rock in Rio 2019, and an international career forged on the road, CLAUSTROFOBIA will bring to the festival all the experience and intensity built throughout its years of activity in Brazil, Europe, and the United States.
Founded in 1994 by brothers Marcus and Caio D’Angelo, CLAUSTROFOBIA has always made independence, live power, and a distinct identity its defining traits. Blending the explosive force of thrash metal, death metal, and hardcore, the band has built a career around albums such as Claustrofobia (2000), Thrasher (2002), Fulminant (2005), I See Red (2009), Peste (2011), Download Hatred (2016), and Unleeched (2022). Hundreds of shows and tours helped the band establish itself in Brazil’s underground scene before expanding into the international metal circuit.
One of the defining chapters in that journey came in 2019, when Claustrofobia took the stage at Rock in Rio and, around the same time, was selected to open Slayer’s final São Paulo show following a fan-driven campaign.
In January 2020, the band played its final Brazilian shows before shifting its focus to the United States. Based in Las Vegas, CLAUSTROFOBIA entered a new chapter, expanding its presence across the North American metal circuit through tours, releases, and performances alongside major names from the scene.
That international momentum grew even stronger with the release of Unleeched, the band’s seventh studio album. Recorded in the United States, the record features a guest appearance by Marc Rizzo, formerly of Soulfly and Cavalera Conspiracy – Listen to ‘Unleeched’ HERE!
In the years that followed, Claustrofobia stepped up its touring schedule, hitting the road with Exciter, Exmortus, Generation Kill, Hatriot, and Crypta. In 2024, the band reached another major milestone by joining the North American leg of Sepultura’s farewell tour alongside Obituary and Agnostic Front.
In 2027, CLAUSTROFOBIA will finally reconnect with its Brazilian audience. With a new lineup, an established international career, and work underway on its highly anticipated eighth studio album, the band returns home for Bangers Open Air 2027—a performance set to bring together its past, present, and future in one crushing display of weight, intensity, and attitude.
