Based on "Fight For What You Believe", this young Brazilian band play thrash mixed with hardcore along the lines of Pro-Pain, reminding of this band's earlier, and better period. Mr. Iggor Cavalera guests on the remake of the album opener- "Conscience", at the end.

The band's debut is fairly good energetic classic thrash topped by some slighly hysterical, high-pitched vocals; the music has its shades from the Bay-Area scene, but Slayer could be another close call on some parts. The band have the detrimental tendency to insert some really odd, melodic, heavy/power metal songs ("Show No Mercy", "Injected"), which is not exactly the best way to look for a wider appeal; the rest is hard-hitting, intense thrashing, served with a considerable doze of aggression at times (What's Next?"). After the reformation in 2000, the music has become more melodic and modern, and far less impressive.

Throughout their lenghty career, Quo Vadis offer a wide variety of styles. Their base is definitely thrash, but there is a certain doze of death, modern metal and even some industrial and more laid-back heavy metal parts. Their first two releases are of a more consistent quality featuring some cool, well played death/thrash. "Babel" is another worthy release, reflecting the band's music's diverse nature very well, including some furious death metal numbers: "Judasz", mixed with equally intense thrashers: "God", plus the cool deviations from the path: the epic track "Ishrael", the pure heavy metal hymn "Pax", and the nice ballad at the end "Feniks".

It turned out that the band's mid-period is also worth checking out. "Uran" is a cool work of more laidback thrash; "Uran" thrashes with force in a way quite similar to the most aggressive material from the band's previous efforts. Later the music loses the intensity, acquiring more technical tendencies, but remains fairly interesting, with the Bananarama cover of "Venus" (don't frown here, folks- the cover is well made, not too dancy: lol!), followed by the nice choppy, modern thrasher "Nie Kazdy". "Nabrani" is an aggressive, direct piece, with nods to death metal. "Nazajutrz" is the highlight of the album, being heavy technical number with slight industrial overtones, after which another very enjoyabler cover awaits you: an energetic crossover take on Sting's "Every Breath You Take" (hey, guys, enough with the awkward choices!). The last "Wielki Ogie?" is an ambitious, but excellent 8-min slow-ish, semi-balladic opus with nice female vocals, which will truly make your day (this depends on the taste, of course, since there is hardly anything inside that belongs to the thrash metal field). This is a very diverse, but enjoyable listen, ranking among the highest achievements of the band.
