Mad Dragzter

Mad Dragzter is a Brazilian thrash metal band formed by James Torres (guitar and vocals), Gabriel Spazziani (guitar), Armando Benedetti (bass), and Eric Claros (drums). Originally formed under the name Bulldozer but upon discovering another band using the same moniker they changed their name to Dragster. In 2002 they discovered this moniker was also used by another band whereupon they changed it again, this time to Mad Dragzter. The band got off to a strong start in 2001 with its demo release New Times, which helped gain it prominence in the Brazilian metal scene. The Mad Dragzter 2003 full-length debut Strong Mind was released to favorable reviews worldwide, while follow up sophomore effort Killing The Devil Inside from 2006 garnered the group further acclaim.
