Bullet Bane and Emmercia brought their heaviness and punch to São Paulo for a packed crowd at Fabrique Club.
“This is the first concert that we’ve played this year. Do you guys know why? Because we’ve been at the studio!” Hinting at an album release, Emmercia kicked off an incredibly special night at Fabrique Club.
Their immediate connection with the audience was clear, and it was equally evident how happy the band was to be there. Heavy riffs on strings and synth, powerful drumming, and cutting vocals shaped a set that featured both fan favorites and the band’s latest releases. One of the highlights of the night was “Calma!,” performed with singer Haruhi, who joined the band on stage for the track, on which she is featured.
Emmercia wrapped their set, leaving the crowd wanting more and extra hyped for the main act, Bullet Bane.
Celebrating the release of their new album, O Agora Que Cobra Viver, Bullet Bane delivered a historic show packed with new songs, established tracks, and plenty of mosh pits. Released on May 29, 2026, the album marks the beginning of a new chapter for the band with a new lineup, now featuring Lucas Guerra on vocals (formerly of Pense), Fe Uehara and Danilo de Souza on guitars, Rafael Goldin on bass, and Andrew Lee on drums. Even so, the set didn’t leave out some of the band’s earliest tracks, such as “Cinza” and “Pulso,” keeping the audience completely immersed in the show.
The band also made a point of bringing some of the biggest names in Brazil’s Hardcore and Rock scene to join them on stage.
Emmily Barreto (Far From Alaska and Ego Kill Talent) joined the band for “Estranho,” Milton Aguiar (Bayside Kings) for “Reta-Ação,” and Cyro Sampaio (Menores Atos) for “Mutação.” All musicians come from bands with different sounds, but they all couldn’t help but do one thing in common: call for circle pits and invite the crowd to stage dive. Not a single person was standing still.
One of the night’s highlights was “Reta-Ação,” a track that marked Lucas Guerra’s debut with the band and gave longtime fans a chance to reconnect with the heavy sound that has always been characteristic of Bullet Bane. To close the night on a high note, the band played “Uma Vida,” with fans singing along at the top of their lungs to the lyrics: “Quero uma vida pra me orgulhar. Uma vida pra poder olhar pra trás” (I want a life to be proud of. A life I can look back on).
