SARCÓFAGO

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

the second studio longplay [1991] marks Sarcófago’s audacious leap from the savage primitivism into a far more intricate and punishing metal realm, where their speed and extremity are no longer chaotic expressions but weapons wielded with terrifying precision - razor-sharp riffing flirts with technical thrash and early death metal structures, the drumming locks into mechanized, relentless patterns, and the lyrics shift from adolescent blasphemy to brutal depictions of real-world violence and decay, reflecting both the maturing outlook and a scene rapidly evolving around them; rather than dilute their venom, Brazilian legend sharpened it into a controlled, cold assault, forging a record that still feels ruthless but eerily methodical in its devastation; recent black vinyl edition comes with a remastered sound and a pro-printed four page lyric insert/poster, US import
