SARCÓFAGO

Release Year: 2014
Artist Origin: BRA
Style: savage impulsive death black metal

the sophomore official recording [1989] captures Brazilian legend at a volatile crossroads: abandoning the feral chaos of infamous I.N.R.I. debut for a more disciplined but no less venomous attack, their riffs slice with cruel precision rather than blur into noise, their drumming grows tighter yet still teeters on collapse, and Wagner’s voice mutates into a more grotesque, commanding snarl - mini album format reflects not creative exhaustion but a strategic distillation, channeling their growing technicality and sharpened hatred into a concentrated assault that hints at death metal’s rise while preserving the blasphemous spirit that made them cult, marking Rotting as a vicious bridge between the savage spontaneity of the past and the calculated violence to come; recent black vinyl edition comes with a remastered sound and a pro-printed four page lyric insert/poster, US import
