Description
Double album on black vinyls with gatefold cover, poster and a 12 page booklet. Limited 300 copies
This compilation album features early demo and rehearsal material by one of Brazil’s most extreme and notorious bands, Sarcofago. This country’s full-fledged underground movement may have only spawned one significant megastar in the international arena, that being the legendary Sepultura, but, ironically, Sepultura is where Sarcófago main man “Antichrist” (aka Wagner Lamounier) actually got his start. Kicked out of the band before they’d recorded a single note, Lamounier founded Sarcófago with the express mission of out-doing his former friends, now rivals, dedicating himself to composing songs and lyrics of the most violent and scatological nature imaginable. Clearly he failed in terms of commercial success, but Sarcófago’s 1987 debut, I.N.R.I. remains an oft-referenced touchstone for black metal musicians worldwide. Needless to say, for those who have heard I.N.R.I. knows that things like finesse and production standards were not to be found on that album and ofcourse on an album like this, where you have demos and rehearsal material from that period you know you will be in for some muddy but brutal music. Even so, it’s hard to argue with Sarcófago’s lustful enthusiasm throughout theese recordings. So this double album really includes some historical relics from an obscure but important national scene.
