They released their latest EP by the end of April 2020 "Until my last breath" and is one of my favourite outputs of 2020. That's why I'm so happy to have both, Diogo AND Fausto, from AIM on this episode. So relax, lay back and enjoy some lessons in portuguese Hardcore History.  Get "Until my last breath" and "Foundation" here: https://aimxvx.bandcamp.com/
