Matanza - Pior Cenário Possível

Pior Cenário Possível (Portuguese for "Worst Possible Scenario") is the seventh studio album by Brazilian cowpunk band Matanza. It is the first album by the band to have two guitarists (Marcelo Donida and Maurício Nogueira) and it is also the last to feature bassist China. It was recorded at Tambor Studios, in Rio de Janeiro, and it was produced by Rafael Ramos, who also produced Nheengatu by Titãs and Setevidas by Pitty. It was released on 14 April 2015. All instruments were recorded simultaneously.

On 18 March, the band announced the second video from the album, "O que Está Feito, Está Feito", recorded in Rio de Janeiro. On 24 March, they released the track "Matadouro 18" at Tenho Mais Discos Que Amigos!. Then, on 1 April, they released "Orgulho e Cinismo" at Rolling Stone Brasil and "Chance pro Azar" at Rádio Cidade on 6 April.

About the darker themes of the album, in comparison with their typical lyrics about drinking and women, vocalist Jimmy London said: "We create the concept of each Matanza album even before we write the first song. Now, however, it would be required to live in Mars to talk about a good mess, celebratory gunfire and fun. Who knows if we won't be in a better mood in the next work."[3] About adding a second guitarist, he said: "It's one more instrument, and that means, 20% plus arranging, noise and pressure capacity. We had a process of recording similar to the other albums. We attempted to keep the sound organic, making the drums sound as if they were right there beside you, and so on. However, with each work, we improve that process. In this moment, we used the tape machine to heat up the sound, but without actually recording on it. What's the fun if everything was the same, after all?"
