EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE: Claustrofobia Shares their Version of Pantera’s “Strength Beyond Strength”


Brazilian Thrash Death Metallers Claustrofobia have released an incredible cover of Pantera’s “Strength Beyond Strength” – recorded entirely in their native Portuguese. No less brutal than the original, “Força Além da Força”, is a great tribute the Pantera classic from the album Far Beyond Driven (East West/ Elektra) the first metal album to debut at #1 on the Billboard charts. The cover also comes with a killer lyric video, produced, directed and edited by Caio D`Angelo. Watch it now, here at Ghost Cult!

 

The band commented:

“”Strength beyond Strength” has always been one of our favorite Pantera songs, and a song that doesn’t have a music video or was commercially worked on by them, but it opens in an extremely aggressive way the album “Far beyond Driven” that we consider the pinnacle of identity. from Pantera, changing the course of Heavy Metal. We always had the desire to make a version for this sound because we identify a lot with this type of composition. And the clip was contagious, ironic and extremely aggressive”, said Marcus D’Angelo

 

Claustrofobia signed with Metal Assault Records for a two-album deal. Formed in 1994 by brothers Marcus and Caio D’Angelo, the band boasts of a career spanning nearly three decades, a discography comprising six full-length albums and a DVD release, a multitude of international tours, high-profile live performances sharing stages with the likes of Iron Maiden, Slayer and Anthrax … and countless fans all over the world.
