These cult Brazilian thrashers really created a ripper of an album in Immortal Force. While somewhat hidden away compared to their other Brazilian counterparts, with their debut album Mutilator splashed out nine tracks of violent death/thrash which, while not always completely memorable or innovative, are really quite impressive, and definitely some of the most brutal thrash of the time.

The band's technical prowess is nothing to write home about, but beginning with the somewhat tightly structured opener "Memorial Stone Without Name" it shows that they are definitely capable of writing an engaging and memorable song, despite it being the longest on the album by far at nearly 7 minutes.

The rest of the album mostly consists of high-speed thrash tracks in the vein of Sodom's debut album, or perhaps Slayer. A good example of the consistent speed is the violent "Blood Storm" which features some of the most furious tempos I've heard in thrash.

While the name of the game here seems to be short, sweet thrashers. The band on occasion writes a few longer songs, for example War Dogs, which, while still being mostly about speed, contains certain memorable riffs and solos that distinguish it from the rest of the album.

The album's second half contains a couple of songs definitely worth mentioning as the best here. Brigade Of Hate starts of very memorably with its more mid-paced approach and speeds up to tempos slightly lower than average when compared to the rest of the album but this is not a bad thing, and leaves for a memorable enough thrasher.

The album closes with Paranoic Command which once again shows an ever-so-slightly more mature approach to songwriting, and sounds quite tight in contrast to the almost sloppy presentation on a few of the songs on the album.

Kleber's vocals are surprisingly quite distinguishable for a thrash band, sounding similar to Max Cavalera of Sepultura but in a slightly more abrasive manner. The song's 'verses' have a slightly unstructured feel vocally, as he seems to shout his lines in an almost "random" way. This seems to work the majority of the time, but there are moments in which it seems slightly off.

The production is pretty rough, but clear enough. The chainsaw-like buzz of the guitars is at times over-powered by the drums, which tend to echo a fair bit. Apart from these factors it sounds fairly clean.

From a rough-sounding beginning on the classic Cogumelo Warfare Noise compilation, Mutilator tighten up considerably for Immortal Force, and while it has its rough moments, this is a fast, abrasive and cult thrash classic.
