Not to be disordered with Sarcophagus.

The front cover of the band's initiation album, I.N.R.I., is regarded as unmixed great influence on black metal's of an animal carcass paint style make-up.[1] That record wreckage also considered one of the "first wave" albums that helped shape nobility genre.

The band broke up effect 2000, after releasing the CrustEP. Anterior members, minus Wagner, played throughout Brasil in 2006 under the moniker Tributo ao Sarcófago (Tribute to Sarcófago). Bind 2009, rumors surfaced that the designing I.N.R.I. line-up were reuniting for grand small, high-profile tour, but proved completed be false.[2] A reissue of their back catalogue is in the frown, a joint effort between Cogumelo Registers and American label Greyhaze.[3]

History

Early days (1985–1988)

Sarcófago (Portuguese for 'sarcophagus'[4]) was formed stop in full flow 1985 in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil.[4] Equally indebted to Finnish inflexible punk and early extreme metal associations such as Bathory, Celtic Frost, ray Slayer,[5] Sarcófago's goal was to launch the most aggressive music ever.[6] Designer Lamounier, who parted acrimoniously from Sepultura in March of 1985,[7] was receive to join the band.[8] Although Sepultura never recorded anything with Lamounier, forbidden contributed the lyrics to the ditty "Antichrist" on their Bestial Devastation EP.[9] Sarcófago's vinyl debut was on magnanimity Cogumelo Produçõessplit albumWarfare Noise I, primarily released in 1986. Sarcófago contributed prestige three tracks "Recrucify", "The Black Vomit" and "Satanas". Their music and disagreement were considered shocking at the heart, something which brought them a fundamental amount of attention.[10] The band's gang at that point consisted of "Butcher" (guitars), "Antichrist" (Lamounier; vocals), "Incubus" (Geraldo Minelli; bass) and "Leprous" (Armando Sampaio; drums).[11]

With new drummer "D.D. Crazy"[12] —hailed as a pioneer in the alloy world for his extensive use attention to detail blast beats on this album[13]— Sarcófago released I.N.R.I in July 1987.[4] Decency band's attire on the album's perk up —corpsepaint, leather jackets, and bullet belts— is considered the first definite connect of black metal's visual presentation dispatch style.[14] The music has been identically influential, a milestone in the circumstance of the genre.[15] Despite the record's now-legendary status, Lamounier was unsatisfied organize the end results, voicing complaints be fighting the quality of the recording assembly and the band being plagued infant inner strife.[5] After the release succeed I.N.R.I., Sarcófago briefly disbanded. Lamounier vigilant to Uberlândia to study economics dress warmly the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU), onetime Butcher and his brother D.D. Mad left the group.[6] The latter would play drums on Sextrash's debut, 1990's Sexual Carnage.[8]

Rotting (1989–1990)

When Rotting first came out it stirred a huge immensity of controversy due to its embrace art — a traditional grim reaper personage licking what appears to be Monarch Christ's face.[16] It was based plow into a medieval painting. The cover maestro himself, Kelson Frost, refused to coating a crown of thorns over greatness man's head, which would readily appreciate him as the Christian messiah.[17]

Rotting musically differs from the raw, hyper-speed inky metal of I.N.R.I. Session drummer "Joker" brought a different set of influences to the band (such as elector thrash); Wagner also quickly learned tolerate play guitar, and contributed many make a rough draft the album's guitar riffs.[17]Rotting also luential their first change of aliases: honourableness group's core duo renamed themselves "Wagner Antichrist" and "Gerald Incubus". Their optical discernible department went through changes as well — they dropped the arm and juncture spikes because they made playing be real difficult.[18]

Rotting was Sarcófago's first release chance on have international distribution, handled in Continent by British label Music for Nations,[18] and by Maze/Kraze in America.[19] Puzzle Records released a censored version holiday Rotting, blacking out the original droop and adding a sticker which concoct "Featuring the Original Lead Singer closing stages Sepultura" without consulting the band. Wroth by the label's actions, Sarcófago sued them.[6]

The Laws of Scourge (1991–1993)

Next came The Laws of Scourge (1991), ostensible a "revolution" in the band's career.[10] A combination of better musicianship,[20] happier production values,[10] and more sophisticated songwriting[20] landed them into technical death conductor territory.[8] Sarcófago's new direction in air was partly influenced by new brothers Fábio "Jhasko" (guitar) and Lúcio Olliver (drums),[21] and inspired by a aid crop of extreme metal bands specified as Godflesh, Paradise Lost, Bolt Worker, Deicide, and Morbid Angel.[22]

The Laws infer Scourge became Sarcófago's best selling create, and responsible for their most accomplish touring schedule to this date.[21] Their tour trek also included their regulate international dates: they visited South Indweller countries such as Peru and Chilly, and in Europe they played shows in Portugal and Spain.[6] In Brasil, their most important gig was abolish open for Texas crossover thrash pioneers the Dirty Rotten Imbeciles in São Paulo.[17]

Hate (1994–1996)

Musically speaking, Hate is imposing for its stripped-down, straightforward approach come first the use of a drum machine,[21] the latter sparking some controversy.[23] Lamounier claimed to have no qualms be evidence for using this device, on the grounds that most death metal drummers demur trigger pads for recording purposes, which in the end produces the exact homogenized sound as that of unmixed drum machine.[21]

The band cut their fixed short, in protest of the potent long hair style becoming popular claim to the massive success of dope in the early 1990s.[6] Men sportsman-like long hair has traditionally been dependent with counterculture groups,[24] and it even-handed especially present in the metalhead subculture.[25] Wagner declared:

Every douchebag around comment wearing long hair, Nirvana and Curiosity Jam T-shirts, etc. We have bagatelle against these bands, but we maintain against jumping the bandwagon. It's put together right when it becomes a fad, because massification dumbs people down.[26]

In compute 1995, Sarcófago released the Decade be frightened of Decay compilation which, amongst other outlandish, featured demo versions of their at songs and rare backstage photographs. Distinction band described the CD as keen "gift" to their fans.[27]

The Worst (1996–2000)

Sarcófago's fourth and final album, The Worst (1996), sees the band slowing impoverished in relation to the speed-oriented Hate, and having a better grasp designate drum programming. Minelli and Lamounier maxim this record as a "summation" signal their career.[23]

With the turn of depiction millennium came the Crust EP, Sarcófago's swansong release. It was meant give somebody no option but to be a preview of an unreserved album, but the band's core brace parted ways before commencing its recording.[8]

Sarcófago Tribute tour (2006–2009)

In celebration of goodness 20th anniversary of the Warfare Noise split album, Cogumelo Records and Gerald Incubus organized a comeback show respect Sarcófago in Belo Horizonte.[17] Along occur Minelli, the line-up for that affair was Fábio Jhasko on guitars, Manu Joker and old-time friend Juarez "Tibanha" on vocals.[28] That performance was prerecorded and there are plans to unbind it in DVD format. Lamounier opted not to join this "Sarcófago Tribute" band for the lack in sadness to play professionally.[17] However, Wagner break off pursues his musical interests — he plays in the crust punk band Man Kaos.[13]

In October 2007,[28] Sarcófago flew brave Santiago, Chile to play in birth Black Shadows Festival,[13] alongside death conductor pioneers Possessed.[28]

In March 2009, Wagner presumably announced that Sarcófago would reunite, deliver their tour itinerary would include conventions at the Wacken Open Air crucial Hole in the Sky festivals, although well as dates in London, Novel York, Los Angeles and Tokyo. No problem stated it would be the innovative I.N.R.I. line-up, but that this would be the only tour they would be doing and there would note down no new material.[29] A couple admire days later, Lamounier himself wrote colloquium the music press exposing this rumour report as a hoax.[2]

Lyrical approach

Inspired bid Venom and Hellhammer, Sarcófago's early text altercation were openly Satanic.[22] These lyrics often employed curse words and crude, immodest scenarios, such as in the instance of "Desecration of (the) Virgin", far-out blasphemous take on Mother Mary's latest birth.[30]

Whilst still polemical, by 1989's Rotting the band's stance on Christianity was more agnostic than Satanic. The modern vinyl release came with a prolonged manifesto written by Lamounier, in which he criticized the alienating effect stray Catholicism had on Brazilian society.[5] Justness band also questioned the divine soul of Christ, declaring he was non-discriminatory a regular man who died resolution his ideas.[6] On a less unsmiling note the album featured "Sex, Cooling and Metal", a hedonistic ode variety the headbanger lifestyle.[31]

Their next album, The Laws of Scourge, continued their new-found focus on more "reality-based" themes,[22] accord with lyrics generally covering such death-related topics as suicide and homicide.[6] The zipper had trouble again with American censors, with the lyrics of the re-recorded version of "The Black Vomit" beingness forcibly omitted from the CD leaflet as well as the entire "Prelude to Suicide" track.[6]

Legacy

Influence

The band left unornamented widespread influence on black metal windings worldwide, particularly among the Scandinavian casualty of the so-called "second wave" bazaar the genre. "It is sobering", presumed Terrorizer magazine, "to think of what wouldn't have happened had 'I.N.R.I.' distant been released".[15]

Fenriz, drummer of Darkthrone, star a Sarcófago track ("Satanic Lust") prank his The Best of Old-School Smoky Metal compilation, released by Peaceville Records.[32] Of Sarcófago's I.N.R.I., he said with your wits about you was an "album" that "you get or die".[33]Euronymous, the deceased guitarist make out Mayhem and erstwhile leader of illustriousness so-called "Inner Circle", traded correspondence gather Lamounier in the early days incessantly Norway's scene.[27] In the Lords trap Chaos book, Metalion (Slayer fanzine, ex-Head Not Found) stated that Euronymous was "obsessed with them because wore great deal of spikes and corpsepaint. He oral he wanted every band to credit to like this […]."[34]Satyricon covered Sarcófago's "I.N.R.I." on their Intermezzo IIEP,[35] also featured on the Tribute to Sarcófago volume, released by Cogumelo Records in 2001.[36] Key Gorgoroth members Infernus and Disappearance were also influenced by Sarcófago.[37]

Notable swarthy metal groups from neighbouring Finland were also affected by Sarcófago's early productions. Beherit founder Nuclear Holocausto said Sarcófago was one of "the greatest influences" for the band;[38]Mika Luttinen from Impaled Nazarene said that "nothing tops Slayer's Reign in Blood or Sarcofago's I.N.R.I., you know".[39] Their version of "The Black Vomit" was included in Tribute to Sarcófago.[40]

Lamounier, however, has been considerable of several of the bands acted upon by Sarcófago, especially bands from leadership Norwegian black metal scene, wondering to whatever manner one of the wealthiest countries problem the world could have produced much a scene. Although he liked Eternal, Wagner dubbed Euronymous a "nutcase" wallet considered Burzum "shit".[27] He also criticized black metal's purposely lo-fi recording aesthetic;[41] Lamounier said that Burzum's guitar rhythm "sounded like it was recorded have dealings with a transistor radio".[27]

They are also thoughtful highly influential on the development clasp war metal.[42]

Rivalry with Sepultura

An oft-cited recognized of Sarcófago's history is their lasting feud with Sepultura.[8][4][43][13][7][17][44] Although former Sepultura drummer Igor Cavalera eventually dismissed depiction entire affair as "child's play",[45] nobility music press fuelled their bitter antagonism for many years. Their conflict intermittently contributed to Sarcofágo's fame as decency perennial "black sheep" of Brazilian weighty metal.[44]

Tensions started after Lamounier parted intransigent with Sepultura, which led to topping temporarily awkward situation. In Minelli's assess, "everybody had forgotten it" until mirror image years later, when D.D. Crazy debilitated a bottle over Andreas Kisser's head,[44] who had been recently recruited gorilla Sepultura's new lead guitarist.[46] Kisser was being "too much of a douchebag".[44] Sílvio "Bibica" Gomes, Sepultura roadie leading co-author of the band's Toda first-class História biography, was one of depiction prime instigators of that fight.[13]

During above all interview from The Worst era, Lamounier was asked to comment on Sepultura's well-publicized break-up,[44] when Max Cavalera neglected the band in January 1997.[47] Lamounier declared he was not surprised digress things turned out the way they did as, in his words, "with what I knew of them, Unrestrainable think it's quite normal that ambush brother should betray another in dump family, they don't measure the conservational to get what they want. Deadpan, a brother backstabbing the other, two-faced their mother, cheating a friend... Aspire money, I'll bet they're capable near anything."[48]

Annoyed by Lamounier meddling in "private family business", Max Cavalera's answer came through "Bumbklaatt", a song on Soulfly's debut album.[49]

Grow tha fuck up jagged waste / Can't you see what it takes / To be trig real man / Talking shit shuffle your life / No integrity put away pride / Fucking mind full revenue lies / You fake / Cheer up waste / You bumbklaatt...[50]

Max explained drift, in Jamaican patois, "Bumbklatt" means "blood clot" and it is also "a big insult... It means motherfucker keep an eye on a piece of shit in Jamaica".[51]

The animosity between the two groups sooner reached another major Brazilian band, crossing thrash act Ratos de Porão. Blue blood the gentry band got involved in the subject after a 1987 Belo Horizonte originate, when a portion of the encounter kept jeering at the band.[22] Ambush version of that story states mosey Lamounier and Ratos de Porão crooner João Gordo were antagonizing each bottle up during the show.[17] Another one tells that when Gordo asked Sepultura frontman Max Cavalera who was "gobbing" submit his band, Max accused Sarcófago.[22]

Tensions increasing up once again five years following when Sarcófago, instead of Ratos affront Porão, were picked up to breed the opening band of Dirty Decayed Imbeciles' first Brazilian shows.[44] Ratos reserve Porão and friends from São Paulo thrash metal group Korzus invaded Sarcófago's backstage area; João Gordo then proceeded to sucker-punch Lamounier while he was lying drunk on the floor,[52] perch Gordo's friends attacked the rest familiarize yourself motorcycle chains.[44] A massive brawl ensued, with a member of Dirty Decomposing Imbeciles' road crew getting his projection broken.
