2008

Hicsos starts 2008 elected one of the ten best Brazilian bands of 2007 and plays on the Rio de Janeiro's selective Metal Battle WOA. The band also played with Obituary and Dying Fetus in April.



As the band turns 18 years-old on the road, Hicsos guitarrists get two pages on the Cover Guitarra magazine. Nilmon Filho and Antonio Saba are called the guitar dynamic duo as Brazilian breakthrough artists. Saba coments:
"This comes from our work. Me and Nilmon did what we had to do in the studio and we had a awesome production!! We're very glad for everything!".



Another special moment was definitely Festival Roça'n'ROll in Varginha-MG. The crowd once again filled the greatest Open Air in Brazil and felt the strengh of the Thrash Metal from Rio.
