RESUMO:

This work aims to discuss the tactics used by the band Torture Squad in the
sense of their professionalization in the underground of the extreme Brazilian metal. For
this, it starts from the idea that the band composed of young workers, elaborated their
art in a context of precariousness, promoted by the neoliberal policies implemented in
Brazil from the 90th century. Born in the English working class with the chords of the
band Black Sabbath in the late 1960s, heavy metal was transforming during the 1980s
and 1990s from internal disputes that refused to be co-opted by the cultural industry.
Genres such as thrash, black and death metal were collectively constructed from a
network of fans and musicians who exchanged letters, k-7 tapes and fanzines under the
motto of "Do It Yourself". This proposed solidarity of the underground is being
intended by the agendas of neoliberal rationality, which transforms the subjects into
businessmen of themselves, where the discourse of entrepreneurship and individualism
seems to take over all social life. The field of cultural production is not immune to the
attacks of mercantile logic, even in musical styles that originatein institutionalized
culture, such as heavy metal, it is necessary to capture the complexity of the action of its
subjects, in addition to the articulation of musical identity, placing them as precarious
artists for those and those who work in the Brazilian underground. Being "between" is
dialogue in this border region, allowing us to escape the dichotomies and simplifications
between underground x mainstream, market x art, thus reaching other places of activity.
Between the logic of "do it yourself" and "self-company", the precarious metal of torture squad is articulated as a way of life, where the dream of its members is to be able
to live exclusively from the musical art produced by his band.
