South american metal rules. cheers from sweden !

I headbanged to Sarcofago back in 86 in Curitiba. Back then you couldn't find anything close to their brutalaty. Missed those days...

The Brazilian scene of metal has always been at the top!! Sepultura, Vulcano and Sarcofago!! =)

Sem dúvida nenhuma o melhor álbum de Black/Death Metal da história da humanidade.

Lo mejor de sudamerica... SARCOFAGO... los vi en vivo en lima hace muuuuuuucho tiempo. una de mis mejores bandas de todo los tiempos. saludos de La Merced. HEAVY METAL MANIAC

One of the most underrated metal albums of all time, this one is a masterpiece!

Naquela época não era essa facilidade de hoje. Pra comprar um vinil era foda. Um amigo comprava e gravava fita cassete para os outros e assim agente vivia. Final de semana era sensacional. Nos reuníamos na casa de algum brother para curtir um som e beber, no Parque Novo Mundo, Vila Maria (Praça Sto Eduardo), Galeria do Rock, sem falar na Led Slay na Celso Garcia era o verdadeiro templo do rock. Sarcófago, Slayer, Venom, Bathory, Deicide, Darkthrone, Samael, Mayhem, Morbid Angel. Época boa.

Real drummer. His name is D.D. Crazy.

First time hearing this blew me away!!!!! Brazil metal rules! ☺ respect from Sweden!

Thanks Fenriz for putting these guys in your "Best Of Old School Black Metal". These guys fuckin' KILL! It's a shame they are no more though. Brasilian's sure know how to make some evil music.

When I hear this song, I feel proud of being brazilian.

I agree! Sarcofago is definantly the heaviest band of the 80's. Glad we agree on something for once.

Mayhem members of Norwegian black metal loved these guys!

Everyone is obsessed with drums, while i can't unhear that tremolo...This seems to be the first truly black metal song. Second wave tremolo picking is all over this one.

Mencionar a importância de Minas para o Metal nacional é chover no molhado. orgulhoso de ter nascido num Estado q tanto contribuiu e contribui para a cena.

The point here is : even some guys from "Inner Circle" said that Sárcofago was a major influence...not only about the sound itself (Blast beats, shriecked vocals) but looking and appeal. Fenriz itself put Sarcófago at his "The Best of Old-School Black Metal"...who is,at last,the compilation of First Wave. Sarcófago are part of 1st Wave of Black Metal, made a very important addiction with blast beats,corpse paint and usage of militarism...as Mayhem is important as well in the scene.

I don't care who came first (although i know Slayer is from 1981, and Slayer is my favorite thrash metal band) but Sarcofago pushed the meaning of "extreme music" to the limit. They influenced such important bands like Mayhem (Dead admits he begun using corpsepaint because of Sarcofago) and Beherit (I have their 1991 Oulu bootleg, they cover a Sarcofago song called "Satanas"), and i have seen recently a Dimmu Borgir documental in which Silenoz wears a Sarcofago T-shirt.

Los padres del BLACK METAL SUDAMERICANO y quizas del MUNDO,si que influenciaron a muchas bandas ..

"Deathcrush" & "I.N.R.I" are great fucking albums!

Tenho orgulho de ter vivido essa época. Comecei curtir o som dos caras em 94/95 e aqui em SP vc tinha que ralar muito para poder vestir uma camiseta de banda Death, Black Metal pq os caras te parava na rua e te "intimava", tinha que saber tudo da banda senão ficava sem a camiseta (pode até parecer tosco, mas era foda). Quando tinha festival de bandas na Vila Maria (Colégio Industrial) o bicho pegava. Realmente Sarcófago é uma Lenda.

Os imperadores do blaca metal norueguês se ajoelhem-se perante esse albúm Sarcófago.

Even after all of these years this song still gives me goosebumps.

Blows today's music out of the water

Both Sarcófago and Mayhem are credited for the Second Wave of Black Metal but it was Mayhem who started the Norwegian "Art" Black Metal scene and gave it a sort of history only known to insiders. Sarcófago on the otherhand is credited for the more "musically extreme" side of Black Metal. It's like comparing Death and Entombed in Death Metal. Death were technical while Entomed used the Boss HM-2 to make simple riffs sound brutal as fuck.

Here is when black metal just began

Deathcrush is a classic but this is just fuckin savage. Otherworldly stuff.

Minha prof de artes ta dando aula sobre rock nacional e ela perguntou se tinha alguem q conhecia outras bandas do rock nacional alem de Pitty, ai eu falei "sarcofago" e agora ela ficou curiosa e passou um dever pra gente trazer uma musica do rock nacional e falar sobre a banda, e eu nem ia escolher sarcofago mas ela disse q era pra mim levar pq ela queria saber, mas oq fode é q ela disse q não pode com palavrão e tem q ter uma critica...

Brutal intro, Brutal Riff...Cult...!!!

The Legend Of METAL \m/

I use to have this album along with other bands from Brazilians enter the metal market in late 80's. Other bands include RDP, Sepultura, Sarcofago, MX, The Mist , Misterfier, and few others. RDP is one of my favs!

its very easy to see how this influenced early black metal this is really old school

Mercyful Fate is infact a Black Metal band of the first wave. The first wave does not have musical boundaries on how it sounds, but it infact based upon its lyrical content. Up until bands like Mayhem and Sarcofago started perfecting a set sound only then was Black Metal a music style, not just based on themes.

SARCOFAGO took metal to the next level, their fucking demos are sooo ultra megga over the top, this records pales in comparison, Hail SARCOFAGO

Foda que toda vez que escuto um trovão me lembra essa música

WAY ahead of its time indeed..

Esse albúm é magnífico !

El Real BLACK Metal los pioneros del maquillaje

O Metal brasileiro nunca vai morrer, enquanto tiver caras como Ìgor Lopes (Em Ruínas) que levantam a bandeira escrito Metal no mesmo lugar que essa foto do Sarcófago foi tirada. Sempre tem bandas novas cresçendo e fazendo bons trabalhos no Brasil.

The most extreme and heaviest black metal as we know it with blast beats comes from Sarcofago I.N.R.I.

the best brazilian band,sarcófago!

una bestia este trabajo lo tengo en binilo desde el 90 mi mejor recuerdo adoracion al mejor genero metalero saludos desde españa .ecuador

how the hell did i miss this band, this fucking rocks

whoa!the most evil song i heard so far in my life

melhor banda brasileira !

Great! One of the very first brazilian extreme metal bands.

Lyrics They say you've born to the eternal kindness And that was conceived by divine grace That came to finish with the pervesion and evil And died on the cross to humanity save The pervesion and evil only start after you came Because you was only a crazy liar False saints were with you on your insanity And the more stupids believed on you Thieves and corrupts Now elated priests They selled pieces Of cloth saying it were yours The chief of insanity Now is reigning at Rome The pervesion and evil Only start after you came They say that you've born to the eternal kindness And that was conceived by divine grace That came to finish with the perversion and evil And died on the cross to humanity save Fuck you Fuck you Fuck you Jesus Christ

This is a Bazilian Band! From Belo Horizonte! Fuckin Band!!

@SlimJimVG INRI was released in july of 1987 and deathcrush in august

Orgulho nacional !!!

Grabbed this today. I bang to hardcore punk but I love this type of shit called " war metal " lately . And this isn't far off . Love the metal punk G.I.S.M. look aswell

Os manos de BH sabiam fazer uns bgl foda, um salve do Goiás kqksksk

I think it depends on your mood. Both albums are genious!

Orgulho nacional!

Best description I've ever heard.

What a fucking bestial song, please!!

EXCELENTE BRASIL CUNA DE BANDAS LEGENDARIAS

Vim pelo fbc, minas no topo em tudo

o Euronymous do Mayhem era fã dessa banda, sarcófago foi a maior influencia pro black metal norueguês,inclusive a corpse paint foi iniciada por eles, o brasil teve grande parte na criação do estilo e tem muito "tr00" fala que nossa cena é uma merda, compara o logo do sarcófago com o do Mayhem que foi criado depois, e todos os outros de outras bandas norueguêsas sucessoras, alguma semelhança? VENOM+BATHORY+SARCÓFAGO = BLACK METAL

Cara, esse álbum é impactante pra crl, especialmente está faixa pqp UM ARREGAÇO!!

Classic Best cover ever

This was way the hell ahead of it's time in '87. Brazilian metal at it's best.

for he ones who likes Sarcofago, don't forget to also listen to Classics of the Brazilian 80's Metal: Chakal and Sextrash...these bands are pure quality!!!!!

Venom's first release was in 81, but had been together and changing to the lineup we know best since 1979.

"Did I mention this album was released in 1987?" The "Pure Fucking Armageddon" demo is from 1986. no offence love sarcofago but I still think that mayhem had been a lot more influential.

Sarcófago é um puta orgulho

Deixaram o Tom Warrior como um professor caretão.. Esses caras inventaram uma roda que não existia.

The singer of this band was the first singer of Sepultura. You can also see where Mayhem got some of their later image from.

Yeah, I agree, I never thought much of Deathcrush, the only reason people think so highly of it was because it was from 1984, and it was done by Mayhem. That's about it, it really isn't that special or very good. This is a much better example of the Second Wave of Black Metal.

I think they also have a huge Venom influence on Hell Awaits too. As most of those type of bands at the time did.

I M FROM BRAZIL! THE BEST EPICENTRE OF METAL. INDEED IM FROM BH, SEPULTURA AND SARCOFAGO S CITY!

Possessed were fucking ahead of their time too. 7 churches was released in 1984 and was death metal...killer

porra bom tempo nos amo 90, eu moro en saõ carlos ma epica á banda sarcófogo, era foda. barabéns,...

Thanks for the comment. Hurry up, favourite it and suck me off already.

In 1986 Sarcófago releases a LP split album called Warfare Noise, with 3 more bands (Chakal, Mutilator abd Holocausto).

Had 'inri' on record, awesome !

At least they didn't sell out like Metallica, but they were very smart with that merchadising strategy, they have their own future guaranteed because of royalties when they retire (i don't think this will be too far knowing Tom Araya has mentioned it)

insane drums and vocals

This is the true black metal.... you are just little kids compared to these guys! Fall onto their knees, Scandinavian black metal!!!

Even better, the shit is forgotten about, and the good stuff remains. Hence, we're listening to this, instead of Darkthrone ripoffs who write half-assed versions of Translyvanian Hunger 100,000 times over and over and over till we give up and start listening to jazz fusion...

@GreenDaaze It's first gen. This is Second Generation. I think Hellhammer was one of the first bands to ever do anything close to Black Metal in 1982(?) and technically Venom's "Black Metal" in 1981 but it's really thrash metal more than anything.

Hail Rock y Metal Latinoaméricano!.

Good one!!! Only band in the 80's calling themselves Black Metal were Venom. But they didnt mean it as a grenre but as their Heavy Metal music was evil.

Sepultura, sarcófago..... 😎🤛🤟 So hard to KZfaq

Awesome! I think people just get blinded cause it's their favourite bands.

No problem man, i wasn't arguing with you. ;) I think that "Deathcrush" is the best Mayhem album, really far from all the Black Metal Inner Circle bullshit and very true to the death/black underground movement. So i'm with you on that. :D

in brazil there'r some pretty good black metal bands. check out bestial atrocity, pactum, impurity, vulcano, mystifier, aamonhammer, lustful...

The name of the drummer is D.D. Crazy.

Who gives a fuck whether or not INRI is more TRVE and KVLT than Deathcrush. They're both fucking great albums.

The Sarcófago vs. Mayhem arguement is tired and silly. Both are great bands. Mayhem formed in 1984, Sarcófago in 1985. Mayhem released the demo "Pure Fucking Armageddon" in 1986, the same year that Sarcófago released their demo "Satanic Lust". They both released their first albums in 1987 (Deathcrush EP and INRI LP, respectively). If you really want to argue, talk about how Mayhem stayed hard and evil, but Sarcófago went slightly softer in their later years (which is a very relative thing).

We all know its becoming more and more popular to not be popular nowadays if you get what I mean. ie bands that are "MOAR UNDERGROWND!"

@frons79 although teutonic thrash technically only applies to bands of Germany, there are specific qualities of teutonic thrash that are different from bay area and other types of thrash, so I can see how one would think of Sarcofago as Teutonic thrash, although I personally look at them as a blackened sort of thrash, with some death metal influences

Right i didn't say they weren't. Of course they were part of the Teutonic Thrash Metal scene. I'm just saying they had an influence on black metal. Sarcofago was thrash too, they were part of the brazilian thrash scene like sepultura.

Importance of a metal band for it's genre is measured by it's influence (number of artists inspired by it), not by what elements it brought (blasts ect.). Influence to modern day black metal is Burzum and Mayhem, not sarcofago, even if they were first or whatever. It's the two bands I mentioned earlier that made black metal what it is today, even if what they might have been inspired by Sarcofago.

both released their albums/music in 1987

GRANDE ÁLBUM!!!

Awesome, I've been trying to grab this album for a while now, unsuccessfully thus far. However I will always maintain that Morbid Saint's Spectrum of Death is the heaviest album of the 80's (and by some aspects the heaviest album ever) :)

Eu tenho esse vinil autografado.

Another band is Sodom. "In the Sign of Evil" was an album that influenced all black metal artists.
