Claustrofobia is a Brazilian death/thrash metal band from São Paulo, formed in 1993. The band is considered one of the seminal underground extreme metal bands in Brazil,[1] with fans around the world, particularly in United States of America and Eastern Europe.

History[]

The band started in 1993 in Leme, São Paulo. In the last 20 years the band participated in the underground scene, becoming one of the most important death/thrash metal bands in Brazil. The band has toured through South America and Europe, sharing the stage[2][3][4] with Soulfly, Destruction, In Flames, Brujeria, Napalm Death, Vader, Krisiun, Helmet, Hate Eternal, Ratos de Porão, Paul Di'Anno, Sepultura and Kreator.

The band did a cross-country U.S. tour with Master in the summer of 2019 before heading back to Brazil to open for Slayer's last show in Brazil on 2 October 2019.[5]

Two days later, they went on to play the Palco Sunset stage at Rock in Rio, in Rio de Janeiro, on 4 October 2019.[6]
